Our Inheritance

Psalms 47:4 KJV
He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

And I want to leave that choice up to the Lord.

This is written years after Israel was back in their Promised Land and the property had been divided among the tribes. It must have more meaning than that.

God has a plan for each of our lives. He plans
What we will do with our lives
Where we will live our lives.
What will be the potential of our lives
Which spiritual gifts will be active in our lives and
What will be the result of our lives

Even more; He plans our inheritance with Christ. We are, of course, joint-heirs with Christ. All that is His is ours in eternal glory. But there is no doubt that we will hold different stations in heaven. And those stations are determined by God's choice not our own.

And that is exactly how I want to leave it. I want to leave it in the hands of the gracious Almighty.
