A Secure Inheritance

📖 1 Peter 1:4

“…to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.”

Everything on this earth eventually fades. Possessions wear out, wealth gets spent, even our best memories can slip away. But Peter reminds us that in Christ, we have an inheritance that will never perish, spoil, or fade. It’s secure—kept in heaven by God Himself.

Maybe you’ve worked hard for something only to lose it. Maybe you’ve had a dream fall apart or seen something precious slip through your hands. We all know what it’s like to feel the sting of loss. But here’s the good news: what God promises His children cannot be taken away. He doesn’t just keep the inheritance safe—He also keeps us safe until the day we receive it.

This means we don’t have to live anxious or afraid of losing everything. Our greatest treasure isn’t in a bank account, a house, or even our health. It’s in Christ, and it’s untouchable. When you remember this, you can live with open hands—generous, free, and unshaken by what you might lose, because your ultimate inheritance is secure in Him.

🙏🏻Reflection: How does knowing your inheritance in Christ is eternal change the way you view your present struggles and pursuits?

💭 Prayer: Father, thank You that my inheritance is safe in You. Guard my heart from chasing after fading treasures, and fix my eyes on the eternal reward You’ve promised in Christ. Amen.
