Bless Your Inheritance Psalm 28:9

9Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.



David knows that God has heard his cries and has given ear to his requests. He knows that God has not only heard his prayers, but He has responded! Because of all that the Lord has done in his life, David can say, "The Lord is my strength and my shield, my heart trusts Him and I am helped and my heart rejoices and my songs will praise Him." We can say the same thing with David if we will but take a brief inventory of our lives and realize that it is God that has brought us safely to the place where we are in our lives. God has indeed been faithful to us all! He has been merciful to us, undeserving as we all have been.

David's heart is full. David wants the people of Israel to come to know God in all of His majesty and His glory. He wants the people to experience God in all of His splendor and His power. David wants them to know first hand the joy of God's protection and His provisions. He wants their lives to filled with overflowing just as his life has been.

David writes, "Save Your people and bless Your inheritance." What a wonderful thought it is to know that we are God's inheritance. We are His inheritance because of His promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We are His inheritance because of Jesus. This is important for us to remember because this was a conscious and calculated choice that God made long before the first star was placed in the sky. Everything that God created He created for our benefit.

The entire universe is created in such a way that life would be possible on earth. We are God's inheritance. He created us to bless us and to lift us up forever and ever. God has and will continue to do His part. All He asks us to do is to walk with Him and be His people so that He can be our God and bless us exceedingly abundantly more than we could ever ask or hope for.

Like David, we are indeed so wonderfully blessed! With our whole heart we all ought to rejoice and sing songs of praise to our God who has loved us with an everlasting love and has done so much for us that we might have life and have it more abundantly! The real blessing is that the more we give ourselves to Him the more that He is able to give of Himself to us!

God bless your inheritance!
