"But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, 'This is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.'"
Luke 20:14
There are many things that the Lord struck me with this verse, but the overwhelming principal here that I am guilty of is 'so that the inheritance may be mine.' Every blessing of my life is inherited from the Lord. Where I live and grew up, my wife, kids, gifts and talents that the Lord blessed me with... all of it, is inherited from the Lord. So often I find myself thanking God for a blessing, and then I move forward thinking its now MINE and I should be able to do with it however I wish.
"Lord, case me to view everything in my life as a blessing from you. In my flesh I want to earn my own money and spend it my own way, gain my own time and use it however I wish. Lord I pray that you would cause my perspective to always give you preference as you are the giver of my inheritance. Lord I wish to be a good steward of the inheritance that you have entrusted to me. Lord forgive me for complaining at times for being discontent with what you have given me. Lord I pray would would cause me to live by the power of your Spirit as I give you all the praise and steward your inheritance and multiply it to praise and glory of your name."
Blessings,
