Morning by Morning, February 27, 2025 - “Inheritance” from the River to the Sea Good morning, Lord Jesus. King of Kings and Lord of Lord, rule and reign in my heart and life today. ... As I wait upon You and Your leading this morning—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God—the message of our “inheritance” and legacy we have in You that I’ve been asked to speak into at our upcoming Men’s Breakfast on Saturday morning keeps coming to mind. And one of the places Your Word speaks of the principles of our inheritance comes from the leadership of Joshua leading the children of Israel into their inheritance of their Promised Land: “After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying: ‘Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory. “‘No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. ...’” (Joshua 1:-1-7). The Promised Land You set before the children of Israel was their inheritance—their spiritual identity as children of God, and their physical destiny to possess the land. This is where the now-infamous phrase comes from: “From the River to the Sea.” This is the River; this is the Sea. From the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea. Long before terrorists and their misguided, deceived, and confused antisemitic sympathizers ever uttered this chant, it was a declaration of the inheritance of God for the people of God. As You sent Your people to cross over their Jordan into their Promised Land of their inheritance, You told them to go forward in faith and obedience, with courage and conviction. You called them to be grounded in Your Word to go forth without fear, while fully trusting in You: “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go’” (v. 8-9). Let it be so with us. All by the power of Your grace at work within us, going before us and coming alongside us. May we “be strong and of good courage,” grounded in Your Word and moving with Your Spirit, with faith and in obedience, into the fullness of all our inheritance in You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
