Today’s Scripture 

“In a similar way, God has promised our ancestors something better, but as long as an heir is a minor, he’s not really much different than a servant, although he’s the master over all of them. For until the time appointed by the father when he comes of age, the child is under the domestic supervision of the guardians of the estate. So it is with us. When we were juveniles we were enslaved under the hostile spirits of the world. But when that era came to an end and the time of fulfillment had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the written law. Yet all of this was so that he would redeem and set free all those held hostage to the written law so that we would receive our freedom and a full legal adoption as his children. And so that we would know for sure that we are his true children, God released the Spirit of Sonship into our hearts—moving us to cry out intimately, “My Father! You’re our true Father!” Now we’re no longer living like slaves under the law, but we enjoy being God’s very own sons and daughters! And because we’re his, we can access everything our Father has—for we are heirs of God through Jesus, the Messiah!”     Galatians 4:1-7

Today’s Thought

An heir is one who receives an inheritance by right of birth… We have been born again into the royal family as heirs to our Father’s Kingdom… It’s an inheritance that is imperishable, undefinable, and unfading, kept in Heaven and manifested in the Earth. 

Today’s Confession

Jesus, thank you for my salvation, because of your sacrifice I am born again into a royal family. I am an heir to our Father God’s Kingdom. My inheritance in Heaven is far greater than anything in this Earth and God’s promises and gifts show up for me here and now.
