Psalm 16:5-6 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
David affirms and confesses his faith in God. I am His and He is mine. He has given me everything I have. Therefore, I know He will preserve and protect what He has given out of love. The Lord has distributed the land and material blessings to me and all His children. We all receive what we have and enjoy from the Lord, but more importantly, we thank God and enjoy the Giver. Blessed be He!
We enjoy His gifts, but they remind us to love and enjoy Him forever. He is my eternal inheritance. His heavenly kingdom has been freely given to me, earned by Jesus Christ, and nothing can take that away from me, ever. “It is your father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” God Himself is my inheritance. 1 Peter 1:3-4 “According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.”
This heritage and gift of God is good and pleasant. Whether we are rich or poor, in plenty or in want, we always have the Almighty and Gracious God. “I can do all things (be content) through him who strengthens me.” We have a goodly inheritance and we live in a pleasant place. What’s more, the Lord promises to preserve, maintain, and protect our inheritance. No matter what is going on in our lives we always have God and His kingdom within. Therefore, we may continually live in the joy of the Lord and the peace of God.
