The Law in 90 Days: Deuteronomy 11-12
Getting it RIGHT with GOD
Romans 8:15-17; but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by Him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The
Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are
heirs...
Because you belong to a spiritual family, where God is your Father and you are His child, you have
been immensely blessed! With this position, you have been made an heir to all of the things that
Jesus has inherited as the Son of God.
Hebrews tells us that God appointed Jesus as the “heir of all things” – the One to inherit all creation
as His own. Before man’s relationship with God was marred by sin, Adam, too, was given authority
over all creation in the Garden of Eden. Already in the beginning, God had a plan to bless His
children and to include them in His work! Like a father bringing his son to work and teaching him the
ropes, God is bringing us along with Him, teaching us His ways; and this instruction will be of great
use to us! One day Jesus will return and establish His kingdom on the earth. As coheirs with Him,
the sons and daughters of God will rule alongside the Son and govern the earth with Him. What a
day to look forward to!
But our sonship has benefits now! Our inheritance allows us direct access to the Father; we are
able to come before His throne freely and confidently at all times! And as coheirs with Christ, we
have received every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places (Eph 1:3)! As Jesus was in constant
communion with the Father, knowing His will, following His guidance and experiencing His pleasure,
so we can walk in the Spirit. Our inheritance entitles us to a life filled with the Spirit and the fruit of
His work (Gal 5:22).
PRAYER and MEDITATION
1. Are you partaking in the blessings that come as a child and heir? Ask the Holy Spirit to show
you any blessing you are missing and why.
2. You are God’s child, and He wants to take you to work with Him. God wants to teach you the
ropes of His ways. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you a picture, word or thought about what He
wants to teach you and show you today. Commit to walk alongside Him all day.
3. Who can you encourage with the things God is teaching you? Ask God to give you direction as
to how you can encourage them today.
