Inheritance is normally a word culture attaches to money. That may be true in some instances, but the original meaning referred to "a transfer of something of great value, as a legacy or promise." We have seen people in our lifetime inherit things: genes, looks, money, reputation, family related personal items, business, or land. Have you ever stopped to think about what you have inherited? God gives us a word in scripture that tells us that we will be on the receiving end of a transfer of something of great value, as in our legacy and promise for our life. Here are some passages of scripture that are worth reading regarding the inheritance we can claim: Psalm 16:5, Psalm 37:18, Proverbs 3:35, Proverbs 13:22, Ephesians 1:14, and Colossians 3:24-25.
My prayer for today is that I can pause in the midst of my day and claim God's promise for my life. I choose to walk in God's peace & provision through whatever difficult time may come my way, and walk with faith as I keep my eyes on you, God.
As you think about the word inheritance, what does it mean to you? Are you in a position to pass an inheritance of a lifetime to someone else that revolves around the promise of God's Word? As I hear the word, I look at the opportunity to leave an inheritance that revolves around legacy, and am less worried about receiving one of things.
