Our text today is Judges 12:13-15
After him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel. He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy donkeys, and he judged Israel eight years. Then Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died and was buried at Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites. — Judges 12:13-15
Abdon’s leadership doesn’t come with stories of war or dramatic miracles. Instead, Scripture records his family line and their prosperity—sons and grandsons riding seventy donkeys, a cultural sign of peace, wealth, and influence. For eight years, Israel experienced stability under his leadership.
It may not read like an epic story, but in a book filled with chaos and conflict, Abdon’s peaceful legacy shines as a rare blessing.
We live in a restless world. We celebrate fame, power, and controversy more than faithfulness, humility, and stability. However, Abdon reminds us that a quiet life of faith can have a ripple effect that lasts for generations. His legacy wasn’t built in the spotlight—it was built at home, among his family, and in the stability he provided his community.
That’s the kind of legacy we need today. Fathers who create safe homes. Leaders who model integrity. Believers who commit to their church and community with steady devotion. The impact of such faithfulness outlasts the drama of the moment—it builds generations of blessing.
Don’t chase the momentary spotlight. Build the kind of faithfulness that outlives you. Stability is a gift to your family and your community—and it’s the kind of legacy God loves to multiply.
ASK THIS:
- What kind of legacy am I building for my family and community?
- Do I value stability and faithfulness as much as God does?
- How can I invest in people, not just accomplishments, today?
DO THIS:
Take one step today to invest in stability—pray with your family, encourage someone younger in the faith, or strengthen your commitment to your local church. Faithful seeds planted now will bear fruit for generations.
PRAY THIS:
Father, help me build a legacy of faithfulness. Use my life not for fleeting applause, but to bring peace, stability, and blessing that ripple into the lives of others long after I’m gone. Amen.
PLAY THIS:
“Faithful Then / Faithful Now.”
