Friday, January 17: Joshua 15- Inheritance.

Joshua describes in detail the inheritance given to Judah

It got me thinking about the inheritance we have through faith in Jesus.

Abundant life this side of eternity, not abundance in life, but abundant life. The kind of life that can make a difference. The kind of life that can know God even as we are known by God. The kind of life that experiences peace in any and all circumstances.

Mercy and grace. A life that rests in what God has done for us, rather than striving and working to make one’s life pleasing to God. The kind of life that rests in Jesus’ finished work on the cross rather than one’s personal piety or religious good works.

Relationship with God. The ability to connect with Father God at any moment and every moment. The kind of life that can know God’s voice, hear God’s whispers and enjoy talking with God, no matter life circumstances.

Then after this world is over, we get to enjoy being in the presence of the Almighty forever and ever in heaven with all the saints.

And these were only the first few elements of inheritance that I thought about as I spent some quiet time with the Lord today.

Thank You, Lord God, for the great inheritance that You have given. I don’t deserve any of these. Thank You. Bless You. Through Jesus, my Lord, I pray. Amen.
