DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
An inheritance refers to something valuable that is transferred to another person for ownership and enjoyment. It may be property, a title, or a position. However, inheritance is not merely about possession; it is about full appropriation. What is inherited but not fully possessed remains incomplete.
In our text, the boundaries and allotments of the Promised Land were clearly defined for each tribe of Israel. The tribe of Judah successfully took possession of the cities in the mountains and the wilderness.
Yet, Jerusalem remained under the control of the Jebusites. Scripture records that the children of Judah could not drive them out—not because God was unable, but because of their sluggishness, fear, and unbelief. Had they acted with faith, courage, and determination, God would certainly have given them victory.
The Lord expected Israel to confront every challenge in complete obedience and unwavering trust. He had already promised them the land; their responsibility was to step out in faith and possess it. Sadly, partial obedience resulted in partial possession.
In the same way, believers today must refuse to settle for less than God’s perfect will and portion for their lives. Many spiritual defeats occur not because God is unwilling to act, but because believers retreat hastily in the face of resistance. Victory often lies in prayerful persistence and confident reliance on God, not in compromise or delay.
In the New Testament, believers are admonished to mortify the flesh—to put to death the remnants of the old sinful nature after salvation. A deeper, richer Christian life requires spiritual warfare.
There are forces to contend with if we desire higher ground in righteousness and holiness. Only those who fight the good fight of faith and bring their flesh under subjection will enjoy the fullness of their spiritual inheritance.
Such believers are assured of “an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven” for them.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
The truly redeemed is a partaker of God’s inheritance.
