vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great
reward.”
The underlined words spoken by God to Abraham in our opening
verse reminds of what He said later to Aaron in Numbers 18:20: “…I am your
portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.” We understand from
the Scriptures that the Lord apportioned inheritance to the different tribes of
Israel except for the Levites, to whom He said, “I am your inheritance.”
How rich can you get when the Lord is your inheritance? How
glorious would your life be? Psalm 24:1 says, “The earth is the Lord’s, and all
its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.” Since this is true, then
the earth and everything in it belongs to you because you’re His heir. Paul
understood this and said, “...all things are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:21).
Now you can understand why your prayer times shouldn’t be spent asking God for things for yourself. What do you want to ask of one who’s already given you everything, including Himself? You have Christ, and Christ is everything. This truth should change your mentality and life forever. Is it strength you require? The Bible says He’s your strength! Therefore, testify like the Psalmist, “…The LORD is the strength of my life...” (Psalm 27:1).
Prayer
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed me with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. I’ve been granted all that I require for life and godliness, and I bless my world with the unsearchable riches of Christ and His Gospel that I bear, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
