You Have A Delightful Inheritance

The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;

surely I have a delightful inheritance.

[Psalms 16:6, NIV]

As a child of God, you have a wonderful inheritance. Having Almighty God as your Father, who loves you so much, is not comparable to any material thing. The lines have fallen to you in pleasant places. Rejoice for because of Jesus Christ, whatever was a boundary to you or whatever may have caused you pain, has fallen. They have fallen in the name of Jesus Christ in whom there is pleasure forever more.

Indeed you have a delightful inheritance. You have a Loving Father who loves you so much that He gave His Son to take your sin, pain and shame, that you can have His blessings without having to work for them. Right now, as you are reading this devotional, listening to or watching a message, as you hear God’s Word, His power is released into your situation, working things out for you and turning your situation around for your good.

You have a Loving Father who is bigger than any circumstance or situation. Rejoice in His loving-kindness for you have a delightful inheritance.

Confession: Awesome Father, there is no one like You. Nothing and no one compares to You. I rejoice for it is a priviledge to be child of Yours. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. I rejoice for surely I have a delightful inheritance in You. Be glorified and exalted, my Loving Father. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.

No Good Thing Will I Withhold From You

For the Lord God is our sun and our shield.

He gives us grace and glory.

The Lord will withhold no good thing

from those who do what is right.

[Psalms 84:11, NLT]

Your Loving Father is a sun and shield. Should you have a dark hour, He will be to you a constant source of light and life, to enlighten you, to enliven you, to guide you and direct you. He will be to you a shield to secure you from the fiery darts of the enemy. With His favour, He will encompass you as with a shield.

Your Loving Father gives grace and glory. God gives you grace in this world as a preparation for glory, and will give you glory in the future world as the perfection of grace; both are God’s free gift. And if God will give grace and glory, you can be sure that no good thing will He withhold from those that do what is right. You may recall times when you must have fallen short of doing what is right. But because of Jesus, God sees you as righteous. However you should not take the grace of God for granted.

Whatever you desire or think you need, rest assured in the promise that your Loving Father will not withhold anything good from you. In due season He will give it to you.

 

Welcome to a new month. It is well with you and yours. Even as you start this new month, let it be your desire to walk uprightly, and trust God to give you every thing that is good for you.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You that no good thing will You withhold from me. Your Word is Your bond and I choose to believe Your Word to be true. Even when I don't feel like it, I pray that you will open my eyes to see all the goodness that surrounds me. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.

There Is Strength in Quietness

...He went up into the hills by Himself to pray...

[Matthew 14:23, NLT]

Jesus Christ had just performed a miracle of feeding five thousand [Matthew 14: 13-21]. Then He dismissed the disciples and went into a solitary place. Though He had so much work to do with others, He chose some times to be alone - to pray. Jesus Christ has set before you an example of secret prayer. When you find your heart burdened to pray, seize the opportunity to pray in secret, and pour out your heart before the Lord.

There is a calmness, restfulness, and holy peace that comes from having a time of quiet solitude away from the world. There is a special strength that is born in solitude. Crows travel in flocks, and wolves in packs, but the lion and the eagle are usually found alone.

Strength is not found in busyness and noise, but in quietness. The one thing you need today more than anything else is to spend time alone with God. As you enter into this new month, make “the secret place” a part of your life. Take out time to retreat from the crowd and busyness of life, to discover the power that comes from waiting upon God.

Prayer: Awesome Father, I thank You for preserving my life not only thus far, but for all eternity. Father, I know that there are times when I am caught up with the busyness of the day. But Jesus Christ has set an example of making out time to pray in secret despite the things He had to do. I pray as I spend time with You and your word, my desire and commitment to prayer will improve. May I continue to be strengthened as I spend time with You. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
