Our Inheritance

Exodus 33-34; Psalms 16; Acts 9 

“Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.”

Psalm 16:5, 6

“…’Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel. I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.’”

Acts 9:15, 16

When the Lord is our inheritance, we lack no good thing. Not many find this inheritance and experience this rest of spirit and soul. The alternative is to make our own inheritance and worry about our security, health, and future. When we make the Lord our portion and our cup, he provides all we need. Saul became a chosen instrument in the hand of the Lord when he gave his life to the Lord. He realized he had been resisting the Creator, even as he persecuted the Church. When we, too, offer our lives to the Lord, he gives us assignments in his kingdom-mission that he has prepared for us. Not only will the Lord take care of us, but he will use our lives to bring glory to himself.

Does this describe our experience with the Lord?

What needs to change?

“Lord Jesus, thank you for the security, provision, and peace in living for your inheritance, for your glory.”
