MESSAGE
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 everything 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.
