Full Inheritance

In Proverbs 8:21, Solomon writes the Lord bestows a rich inheritance on those who love Him and He makes their treasuries full.  God is so wonderful.  He gives full eternal and abundant life.  When we give our lives to Jesus Christ the Lord has in store for us a wonderful inheritance.  One man wrote that if God were to show us what He has in store for us in heaven, it would slay us right there on the spot.  Jesus told His disciples that they would get a 100 fold whatever they lost in this life in the next.  God has promised to replace anything you lost in serving Him a 100 fold.  What a great promise.  Solomon knew that this life was just a dress rehearsal for eternity.  Here he points out that God is preparing a place for us.  Jesus said that in the book of John.  Our treasuries will be full.  Already we have eternal and abundant life but even more is coming.  Paul said, "that God would supply all our needs according to His riches in glory."  Yet there are even greater things coming.  Paul also said in Eph 3:20, "that the Lord will do exceeding, abundantly more than we can ask or imagine."  How big is your imagination?  God is bigger than that.  Solomon knew during the writing of this proverb that when you love God your present treasury will be full but a rich inheritance is also waiting for you.  So today live in your present abundant life and then remember you have a great inheritance waiting for you just on the other side of the portal of death.  Remember this is not the best.  The best is yet to come.
