Psalm 16:1-6 “A Poem by David. Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you. My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.” As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight. Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips. The LORD assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.”

David reminds us that we need to rely totally on God. There is nothing and no-one more important than Him in our lives! As such, we have a special relationship with others who think like we do. Although we do reach out, we should be wary of those whose beliefs and morals are different than ours, and we should prefer the company of believers. And one reason is the bond we share and the contentment we have in common. We are thankful for God’s care, blessing, and our current and future inheritance!

1 Peter 2:3-5 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you, who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”
