God inherits us. "And he said, "If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, please let the Lord go in the midst of us, for it is a stiff-necked people, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance." - Exodus 34:9 (ESV)
The tables are turned. The best inheritance I can think of is for we, such as we have been and are and will be, to be inherited by God. Moses recognizes this in the clutch time in the book of Exodus, with the thought of the promised land without YAHWEH to be unthinkable.
What does it mean for God to inherit us?
Could it really be true, that the Almighty God would want us? Could he really see us as His inheritance?
To be wanted.
To have a place and a purpose.
To be His, and to belong to Him.
What can be the best inheritance for our children? It is to know that the Lord God loves them and desires them to be His own.
Do you know that the Lord wants you for His own?
Not because of what you have done, but because of who you are - His.
You have always been His.
The greatest inheritance is the one we are - HIS.
