YOUR BLESSINGS ARE RESERVED
Memorise: The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant
place; yea, I have a goodly heritage. Psalm 16:6; Read:
Psalm 16:5-9, Bible in one year: Genesis 3-4, John 11:1-27
One thing that robs many people of peace is the uncertainty
of the future. If you are living in right standing with God,
your future is guaranteed not by man or by the economy of
your nation, but by God. Hence, Isaiah 3:10 says:
“Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him:
for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.”
Are you saved, sanctified and living a life that pleases God
daily? If you are, then you have no reason to be worried
about your tomorrow. Your future is secured in Christ. This
is the reason why Jesus charged His own not to worry over
what to eat, drink or wear (Matthew 6:25-34). With this
assurance, Apostle Paul also in Philippians 4:6 said:
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer
and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be
made known unto God.”
Another reason why the righteous have peace is the
assurance that they will prosper. Our Heavenly Father in
Isaiah 1:19 promised that:
“If ye be willing and obedience, ye shall eat the good of
the land:”
If you are holy, your portion of divine blessings is reserved
for you. Part of the wealth of this world has been reserved
by God just for you. Nobody can take your portion from
you. When you know this, you will not be moved or be
afraid, no matter what you go through. No wonder today’s
Bible reading says that while God was sharing land to His
children, a good portion, very fertile and fruitful, was
allotted to you. It also assures you that God is the One who
secures your blessing so that no one can steal it from you.
As you live in righteousness before Him, simply put your
trust in Him. Ask Him to lead you to your reserved land.
Nothing will take your reserved portion of blessings away
from you. Simply please God by regularly worshipping and
thanking Him; win souls and support the expansion of His
kingdom on earth. As you do these, He will surely lead you
into the portion of divine inheritance reserved for you.
ACTION POINT :
Thank God for reserving a blessing for you in His safe
haven.
