"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." -I Peter 1:3-5 (NASB)
It seems as though I am always looking for something. Whether it's something I need, something my daughter needs, we find ourselves searching high and low. While we aren't searching for valuable or important things, like an inheritance, it reminds us of the earthly obstacles we face. Even valuables, like an earthly inheritance, can be lost, damaged, and fade away on earth.
Even though our earthly inheritances can fade away, God gives us a greater inheritance that He protects and preserves for us. When we begin to worry about our earthly trials and inheritances, we can take comfort in the words of I Peter 1:3-5. We have reason to hope. We have reason to look forward. God has a plan for our lives and for our eternity. The plan starts with the opportunity for us to be born again through the death and resurrection of Jesus. As believers, we have an inheritance that is prepared and protected by God.
Your protected inheritance is protected by God and waiting for you in God's time!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for sending Your Son so that I can have an inheritance from You. Help me to live my life on earth so others can know of their inheritances waiting with You. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
