Psalms 47:2-4 (KJV) God’s Inheritance for You

Psalms 47:2-4 (KJV)
For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

The inheritance spoken of is most surely the Promised Land of Israel. This was God’s choice for them down to the details of which portion was to belong to each tribe of Israel. There was flexibility, as can be demonstrated in the giving of land on the other side of Jordan to the two and half tribes, but it was God who chose what was theirs.

I see in this a sense of dependence and trust upon God. It was He they trusted for

• Their necessities now
• Their livelihoods upcoming and 
• The futures of their children

Trusting God’s inheritance for us is not fatalistic. We have input and can influence what will be our ultimate inheritance for our futures and for our kids. What it means is that we trust God enough that we only strive to influence that inheritance within the bounds of God’s will. This especially means that we:

• Live 
• Move 
• Work and 
• Plan 

strictly within the confines of the Holy Word. If the Bible is against a thing we are to reject it outright. If the Bible is for a thing we ought to embrace it wholly.

Let God choose your inheritance as you honor and obey Him.
