Day 11

Can you imagine with me for a moment that you were a part of the Walton family, who owns Wal-mart and is one of the richest families in America. What if you were next in line for your inheritance and then, told you cannot have it? In the passage today you will see a similar situation, before God sent His son. We see how before Jesus came, there was no inheritance for us from God, but the latter part of Galations 4:1-7 introduces us to our inheritance, bought through the life and death of Jesus. It states that we were all adopted into the family of God so that we may receive our full inheritance. Do you know what that means? You are the son/daughter of a king... the King, with full access!

We may see Princess Kate on the magazine covers and think to ourselves, "Must be nice to have everything". What exclusive privileges and rights do you think royalty brings? But that raises another question. Are you living your life as though you have been adopted into the Royal family of Christ? You are the son/daughter of the most high, the Lord of lords, the King of kings! Go ahead... take a minute to revel in that reality for a moment. Verse 7 shares with us that God will fulfill his promise, because we are his children.

Today, your task is to "adopt" a family, a friend, a charity and donate. To you that may mean a family you know that is in need this season, or a local church or charity that can distribute your donation. It may be food taken to your local food bank, or clothes and goodies taken to a local women's shelter. Whatever that looks like to you, make plans today to share some of your rights and privileges with others.

Have an incredible day everyone, and remember, you have been given full access to all the royalties through Christ.
