Do. you expect an
inheritance from God?
"For all who are led
by the Spirit of God are sons of God. Romans 8:14 ESV
Back in the time the
Bible was written, sons inherited things. Paul uses the term "sons"
here to denote that we will be expecting an inheritance. We are
heirs of God. We're his children. He's going to give us his glory
and his riches. Once we trust God, and get in the position as a
Follower of One, we are children. It's done.
Are we led by the
Spirit? We decide that once and he comes to live with us. He leads
us and we "are" children.
So how does that show
up in the world today? Our eternal wealth is more than we can
imagine. We have an unlimited supply now. We get the opportunity to
live on-mission with Jesus. His purpose was to save mankind. Our
purpose is to be led by the Spirit and take part in this grand
strategy.
We can be a blessing.
We can do things to make the world and life better for everyone we
meet. Maybe it's a prayer. Maybe it's a gift. Maybe it means we
will do more so they can do less. Maybe we need to fix something.
Imagine getting up every day and asking the Spirit what he would
like you to do today. That's our first daily habit. We want to get
in the habit of living on-mission with Jesus and being available to
do what he calls us to do with and for others.
What's stopping you?
Do you think about all the things you can't do? Ask God to show you
what you can do. He made us an heir. You're part of God's strategy.
Let's get in the game.
