NOT ALL AT ONCE
Today's reading: Proverbs 20-21

"An inheritance obtained early in life is not a blessing in the end." Proverbs 20:21 NLT

It could have happened this way...

That Easter Sunday at the altar where I asked Jesus to forgive my sins and save my soul, He could have filled me with every knowledge of Him I'd ever know.

He could have provided me with every insight into Him that there could ever be.

He could have inserted into my cerebral cortex every verse, the commentary that accompanied it and every Hebrew lexiconical breakdown there is within His Word.

But it didn't happen that way.

He chose to give me bits and pieces of my inheritance on a daily, hourly and sometime circumstance-by-circumstance basis.

He knew I couldn't handle it all at once.

He knew an inheritance of that proportion would not be appreciated in a lump sum.

So He has chosen to show me along the way how faithful He is.

He has decided to reveal verses here and there in amounts I can digest.

He has thought it necessary for me to realize Who He is in ways that allow me to really see Who He is.

He has opened up His Word in the morning for what I might need for that day.

He knew best about this inheritance He has for me.
