A Portion For You

TEXT: JOSHUA 15:21-47
KEY VERSE: “And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur” (Joshua 15:21).
The declaration in Hebrews 7:25 that the Merciful Lord is able to “save to the uttermost” those who related to Him through Jesus Christ, is in both figurative and literal terms. He implies that He could save people outside the Jewish race provided they repent of their sin, forsake unrighteousness, receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior and walk in holiness and obedience in the race to heaven. It also means that He could preserve believers unto His eternal kingdom in heaven. Believers who are thus saved to the heavenly city will inherit eternal blessings.
In our passage today, God has specified details of the portion of each tribe in Israel. The demography is carefully laid out and the boarders well marked. With this, no tribes is left uncatered for or will feel cheated.
There are times that some skeptics ask in derision that if the whole world should believe in Christ as Christians preach, would there be enough room in heaven for all? God’s provision of salvation is for the whole world. If the whole world were to believe in Christ, there will be room enough for all.
There are some ignorant believers who think that God is too busy to think of or consider them. As such, they live such depressed, dejected and defeated lives. God knows everyone of His children by name, loves and cares for each of them. Yes, God knows you and cares for you. He has a portion of blessing for you that no one can take from you. Yours has been carefully marked out and detailed out from coast to coast. Rejoice then, child of God, because you are not lost nor forgotten in the crowd.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The blessings of the Cross is for all, who believe, to enjoy.
