He chose our inheritance for us... Psalm 47:4a
Have you ever considered the importance of a will? A will is a very important document. It generally expresses one's wishes regarding the disbursement of belongings and the care of children. Sadly, it is sometimes powerful enough to separate families. At the death of someone they loved, too many can become selfish and greedy.
But the most powerful aspect of a will is what it represents. It represents one's choices. A will reflects who has been important in one's life, for it describes a chosen inheritance.
God has chosen an inheritance for those who have loved Him. And He left a will.
In an amazing way, His will was written over the course of many centuries through the pen of many different authors. His written will is the Bible. The Bible describes those who have been chosen - those who will receive an inheritance upon His death.
The interesting thing is - the inheritance is the One who died. Jesus is our inheritance. For those who choose to follow Him, an eternal life in Him awaits.
Lord, thank You for choosing my inheritance. Thank You for sending Your Son to live, to die, and to reign forever.
