We often talk about claiming our inheritance in God.
But the Word clearly shows us, that God chooses our inheritance for us.
Ours is not to choose, but to rejoice in and enjoy it!

Before entering Canaan land, God had already apportioned territories to each tribe of Israel.
Jos 14:1-2 ‘These are the areas which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan,
which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of
the children of Israel distributed as an inheritance to them. Their inheritance was by lot,
as the LORD had commanded by the hand of Moses,....’

Eph 2:10 ‘For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.’

Even the works that we are to do for YHWH has been predestined.
It is not about how busy we are, but whether or not we are doing what He wants.
It is not about how much we have, but whether or not it is what He has given us or what we just decided to take for ourselves.

Rom 12:2-3 ‘And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.’

It is worldliness that pushes us to be over ambitious and claim as much as possible for ourselves (even in the name of Jesus).
God has chosen our inheritance for us. We should not settle for less, but neither should we aspire for more.
1Ti 6:6 ‘Now godliness with contentment is great gain.’
Thank You Father, for the inheritance I have in You. Help me to possess
all You have apportioned for me for Your glory and my joy.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
