Joshua 13:14. “Only unto the tribe of Levi He gave none inheritance; the sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as He said unto them.” INHERITANCE. It belonged to another originally Another had paid its price For reasons known to the Giver It is now owned at least twice The reason the second owner has it The Giver chose to pass it on The inheritor only has to receive the gift It was purchased by another One.
An inheritance has a different value Not measured just by money Someone values you and puts it in your hands To Israel it was a land flowing with milk and honey Flowing in Canaan as Israel conquered promised lands To us the inheritance is from God Benefits and blessings to numerous to number Given us through Christ, our Living Lord.
How much is eternal life worth provided as a gift? Who can put a value on a gift paid by blood? Yet that is a down payment on all we will inherit When we are adopted and become sons of God. Heirs of God joint heirs with Jesus – glorious is the fact That mercy undeserved He freely showed to us Now we are made rich who once were very poor Inheriting spiritual gifts by His amazing grace.
“Father in heaven, I am not deserving of any of the gifts I have inherited from Thee. “Peace with God” came at such an awful cost. The extended had of mercy that reaches out in forgiveness, the cost of “the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,” all of these inherited blessings are so far beyond measuring as to baffle my mind. But it does remind me that these have not been given for no reason – thank You for loving me! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
