Matchless value? Most things have value, but not all things have monetary value. What was Jesus saying when he preached, “Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5). What sort of inheritance did he have in mind?
Think about it. The world is the things that we’ve put here; the buildings, appliances, automobiles and the like. They are valuable, but we won’t inherit them by our obedience.
God’s Word tells us: “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. “(Exodus 30:12).
Obey God and you’re likely to receive an inheritance of very dear value, the earth itself. When you and I battle sin and evil, God chooses to share the intrinsic value of his creation, the earth, with us. On the one hand it seems like nothing, on the other, it’s the very first thing God made, even before man. The resale value is minimal, the intrinsic value is matchless.
“Heavenly Father, by faith, we confess that we will obey Your commands, walk in Your ways, and honor You. We will confess Your instructions are perfect, reviving our souls. Your decrees are trustworthy, making wise the simple. Your commandments are right, bringing joy to our hearts. In Jesus name. Amen!”
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34) www.thispassingday.com
