Inheritance, that word invokes the idea of being given something good. If you have ever been given an inheritance you know it is a blessing someone has left behind for you to receive. The word means you are about to receive something really good. Some people know what their inheritance is, others do not. Some people are surprised in a good way by their inheritance and others are disappointed. But an inheritance is ear marked for you to receive.

Praying Psalm 2 this morning, the Holy Spirit began to share with me about inheritance and this is what the psalmist said, “You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession.” This is the Father in heaven speaking to His Son Jesus the Christ who came to earth as a man, the Father said, ask of me and I will give the nations as your inheritance. Nations are people, a whole lot of people and a lot of different kinds, cultures of people. This was and is Jesus’ inheritance. He has received this inheritance from His Father.

He has inherited us. The question is, what kind of inheritance are we to Him? An inheritance before it is received is highly anticipated as something really good. You and I were created in the image of God according to Genesis 1 and God said about us, it is very good. We were created as something very good for creation. The question is, are we living a a very good inheritance for Jesus? Are we spending time with Him? Are we obeying His voice? Are we obeying His commands? I was thinking this morning, if the nations are His inheritance then His inheritance is vey good, but are we living a life that is very good in His eyes, so He can enjoy us as His inheritance? We are His inheritance, may we not forget who we are and live accordingly. We were created as very good!!!!
