An Inheritance (Dec 18)

and an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for you,
                                      1 Peter 1:4 NIV

We have received an inheritance through the work of Jesus on the cross, his death, burial and resurrection.  Our inheritance in heaven is eternal life. 

Matthew 6: 20-21 also underscores where our treasure is.  But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

We do the best when our body, mind and heart are in God's will.  The best way to discern God's will is to stay in the Word, to attend worship and to fellowship with others to gain wisdom, courage, and understanding to get out and carry out the great commission by our life, our action and our word.  We do the best in our efforts again when all are in accord with God's will.

Pray to look to your to your inheritance in heaven on a moment by moment basis as you face life's challenges.

In Christ,

David P
