Not pondering anew what a mind-bending privilege and honor is mine!

We who have been heirs of God for a long time don’t think much of it anymore.

Well, that was my conclusion about myself as I read through this morning’s collage of verses from Daily Light on the Daily Path.

See what you think:

If children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ. -Romans 8:17

If ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. -Galatians 3:29

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God. -1 John 3:l

Thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. -Galatians 4:7

Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will. -Ephesians 1:5

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me. -John 17:24

He that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him I will give power over the nations. -Revelation 2:26

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. -Revelation 3:21

I found myself reading the familiar words…and not pondering anew what a mind-bending privilege and honor is mine. “An heir of God” — great, next subject?

I want renewed awe and wonder and appreciation at my position in Christ.

By the way, the above selection is from the July 3, Morning section of Daily Light on the Daily Path.

Who then can make trouble?

Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil! And God granted him that which he requested. -1 Chronicles 4:10

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. -John 17:15

The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. -Psalm 34:22
