Sitting alone on our screen porch, only a soft breeze and chirping crickets kept me company. My husband continued to sleep the sleep of Covid; for the third time, he succumbed to the nasty virus. So, for me, this summer morning gave way to an extended time alone with God. The thought of my spiritual inheritance arrested my attention. Let me explain.
Many versions of the Bible print the Words of Jesus in red. Am I correct? Well, in like manner, there are times when the Holy Spirit highlights particular Scriptures in red, so to speak, and inscribes them on my heart. The three verses below are just such Scriptures, and they represent privileges in our lives as Believers.
3 Red Letter Privileges
He who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
-Proverbs 15:15
The privilege of continual joy
The veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
-Matthew 27:51
The privilege of ongoing access
Keep yourselves in the love of God.
-Jude 21
The privilege of amazing love
Think about this: for you and me, God has already extended to us much of our spiritual inheritance. These privileges bless us, nourish us, and make our sojourn on earth a supernatural experience. With all my heart, I want to claim my inheritance. I want to live a life of ongoing joy, wear out the carpet walking into The Throne Room, and bask in the sunshine of His amazing love. And to think, I don’t have to die to claim these treasures.
