The Lord wants us to enjoy our lives in abundance. The Bible says in 1 Peter 1:4, when we are born into the family of God, we are not only born into a relationship but also, into an eternal inheritance. It is an imperishable and indestructible inheritance. There are several inheritance we receive from our earthly parents that can be defiled and it can fade away but, the inheritance that God wants us to have is undefiled and unfading. It is reserved for us and has our name on it. The only way to receive this inheritance is by being a child of God. We just have to live out our lifes in our identity for the rest of our lives. We don’t have to live as a victim where we depend on people’s mercy. It is only a matter of understanding, how to tap into this eternal inheritance stored for us in heaven even when we are living on earth.
Jesus prayed this prayer ‘Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven’, which means if there is an inheritance kept for us in heaven, we can receive it here on earth as well. We can use our inheritance to serve people and the purposes of God. We must live our lives with fullness, as a victor, knowing that we have immeasurable resources at our disposal.

Healing and Bandaging
Psalms 147:2-3 (GNB)
“The LORD is restoring Jerusalem; he is bringing back the exiles. He heals the broken-hearted and bandages their wounds.”
Divide the Enemy
Mark 3:24-26 (NKJV)
If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
