Our Inheritance

What is our inheritance?

If we belong to the LORD,
the Bible tell us that we will one day be with
HIM in Heaven!
THAT is an incredible thought!

But what about now?
Are we promised riches?

No.

But...
We are promised the peace that passes all understanding.
We are promised that HE will never leave us.
We are promised that all our needs will be met.

We *love* Spurgeon in our home.
We feel as though he really has been pastor to us over the years.
"Morning and Evening"
is a devotional book that was written over 150 years ago
by the "Prince of Preachers" (Spurgeon).

The November 11th evening reading was such a blessing to our hearts!
Here I will share some quotes from it with you.
If you do not own a copy of this devotional,
I would encourage you to purchase one for your home!

It is that wonderful!!

"He shall choose our inheritance for us..." Psalm 47:4

"Believer, if your inheritance be a lowly one you should be
satisfied with your earthly portion; for you may rest
assured that it is the fittest for you.
Unerring wisdom ordained your lot,
and selected for you the safest and best condition."

~ C.H. Spurgeon ~

Do we understand this?
Oh that we would fully comprehend the
incredible depths of it!

Ordained of God...
our inheritance has been ordained by God for us!!
Maybe things are not going as you planned.
Maybe every week you wonder where the money
for the next bill will be coming from.
Maybe your health is poor.
Maybe your children are wayward.

Whatever the situation, we all need to remember this...

Our lot is chosen for us and will be used by God
to do His perfect work in us!


"Remember this, had any other condition been better for you
than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there.
You are placed by God in the most suitable of circumstances..."

~ C.H. Spurgeon ~

Do we really believe this?
Oh that we would truly grasp the profound truth of it!
All comes from the loving hand of our perfect
Heavenly Father...for our good and His glory!

How wonderful to read such truths from a man who has long been
in Glory and who knew His Lord well!
The truths he shares are timeless.
They often strike us as timely for whatever it is we face.

Isn't God's Word like that?
Perfectly suited for every occasion.
How blessed we are!
What an inheritance!!

"Be content with such things as you have,
since the Lord has ordered all things for your good."

~ C.H. Spurgeon ~
