“A WONDERFUL Inheritance “

 “A WONDERFUL Inheritance”

 

LORD, You alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine, the land You have given me is a pleasant land. What a WONDERFUL INHERITANCE!  Psalm 16:5-6

 

I think that King David’s CONFIDENCE in the ALMIGHTY GOD, was a BIT OFF the CHARTS, so to speak.  Verse one, tells us that: David said, “Keep me SAFE O God, for I have come to YOU for REFUGE.” (V1) “You are my MASTER! Every GOOD thing I have comes from YOU.”  “LORD, You alone are MY INHERITANCE, MY CUP OF BLESSING. YOU GUARD ALL that is mine.” (V5) “The land You have given me is a PLEASANT LAND.  What a WONDERFUL INHERITANCE.” (V6).

King David’s life was RIDDLED with TROUBLES.  He lived in some ANXIOUS TIMES. His enemies were CONSTANTLY chasing him, and he brought on some pretty HEFTY troubles of his own making.  Yet still the MIGHTY HAND of the LIVING GOD was on him.  And David KNEW beyond doubt, that God would PROTECT him from his ENEMIES.  Thus, we see in verse one David’s CONFIDENCE in God: “KEEP ME SAFE, O LORD, for I have come to You for REFUGE.” King David did not go to the MIGHTY MEN of BATTLE to KEEP HIM SAFE. His TRUST and CONFIDENCE was in HIS LORD.

In verse two, we see that the ALMIGHTY GOD was his ULTIMATE JOY and TREASURE.  David declares that EVERY GOOD THING that he had came from his LORD. Is GOD your ULTIMATE JOY and TREASURE?  Are your CONFIDENCE and TRUST, SOLEY in HIM

King David ‘s DELIGHT in God grows to his DELIGHT in what GOD DELIGHTS IN; His HOLY PEOPLE, those who were IMPORTANT to GOD was IMPORTANT to DAVID.  He had GREAT JOY in KNOWING that GOD and NOT his POSSESSIONS was his TRUE INHERITANCE. And he could take REFUGE in GOD’S PRESENCE of which he was GRATEFUL for. 

TRUE BELIEVERS of JESUS are CALLED to REMAIN in CHRIST. And when they do they gain STABILITY in an UNCERTAIN life.  And the GREATER the CHALLENGES that we FACE each day, the MORE we SHOULD REMAIN in CHRIST.  However, for those who are NOT TRUE BELIEVERS, TROUBLESOME TIMES are coming and when the SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD, starts dealing with your HEART, you NEED to SURRENDER to His wooing and ADMIT that you are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the SON of GOD, who has already PAID the PRICE for YOUR REDEMPTION, all you MUST DO is BELIEVE with ALL your HEART that JESUS DIED for your sins and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL lifestyle and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. You MUST ACCEPT God’s GIFT of SALVATION, and His WONDERFUL INHERITANCE that is WAITING for you!!  So, do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
