…no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed,
and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD
and their vindication from me, declares the LORD.”
If you have an auto club membership, you know you get full benefits for members only. Then, when you need them, you find how important you really are as you wait two hours for them to come out. Not so with membership in God’s Heritage Club. The City of David, Jerusalem, was a place to go to enjoy the protection of God. No weapon of Judah’s myriad enemies could overcome the sovereignty of God. No one could say a word against Jerusalem because God assured them that they were in his loving arms. Whatever charge was laid against Judah was dismissed as they were vindicated by the God who chose them. The servants of the Lord were exclusive members of God’s plan of redemption.
We are also exclusive members of his family as adopted sons and daughters. We are impervious to the weaponry of the enemy because God is in control. He is sovereign over every attack on us. No one can charge us with sin because Jesus took that sin away. Our heritage has royalty in our bloodline. Jesus Christ initiated a new covenant in his blood and we are in Christ and in covenant with God. That is a godly heritage like no other on the face of the earth. Today, enjoy the benefits of membership; forgiveness, adoption, and eternal life.
Dear Lord, thank you for our membership in a select group of undeserving sinners you chose for salvation. May we take full advantage of these benefits in Christ. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
