Is My Life and Future Really Secure in Jesus?
“LORD, You alone are my portion and my cup; You make my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.” ~ Psalm 16:5-6, NIV Sometimes, I have to beat that verse into my head. I have to repeat it over and over, insisting that I accept it, forcing myself to believe it. Because there’s a lot of times when I don’t. When bitterness and hopelessness threaten to take over. You may be feeling the same way. You may struggle with chronic health issues. You may have lost all your earthly possessions. Your life may not be going at all how you planned it, or how you would like it to go. And yet that verse still stands. But you find yourself questioning, like I do, “Are my boundary lines really in pleasant places? Do I really have a delightful inheritance?” Yes. If nothing else, all of God’s children have the promise of eternal life with Him in Heaven (John 3:16). That’s our inheritance.
