David Jeremiah Daily Devotional for Today 5th August 2024
In his latter years, a grandfather tells his grandson that in his will he is leaving the young man a piece of property. But then he says something unexpected: “This property is your inheritance, my gift to you. But I also want you to know that you have been my inheritance; you have been God’s gift to me.”
The apostle Paul uses both senses of inheritance in Ephesians 1. In verses 13-14, he says the Holy Spirit is the “guarantee of our inheritance”—our eternal life with God which is His gift to us. But then in verse 18, Paul speaks of “His inheritance in the saints.” In some mysterious way, God sees us, His saints, as His eternal inheritance. Just as the grandfather found pleasure and joy in the life of his beloved grandson, so God “takes pleasure in His people” (Psalm 149:4).
On days when you find it hard to take pleasure in your behavior or potential, know this: You are God’s inheritance, a source of pleasure and joy forevermore (Psalm 16:11).
An inheritance is not only kept for us, but we are kept for it.
Read-Thru-the-Bible: Jeremiah 6 – 8
