The scripture for today's devotion is Hebrews 1:1-2. "God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world."
It had been "long ago" that He had spoken "to the fathers" but praise God that He did not remain silent, but sovereignly spoke again! As He spoke this time, He was speaking in a different manner as He spoke in His Son, the One through whom He had also made the world. As the Holy Spirit uses His word and moves in the hearts and minds of His children, we see that God is still speaking in His Son today. Truly, "the word of the Lord endures forever".
In 1 John 3:1 the Apostle John wrote, "See how great a love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are". I have come to love that last phrase, "and such we are". We are not simply called children of God in word only, but in deed and in truth we are His children.
Romans 8:17 tells us, "and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ". We see in today's passage that Christ was "appointed heir of all things". May we seek His help to comprehend this amazing truth. We are fellow heirs with the One who has been appointed heir of all things. As we consider our glorious position in His Son, let us have ears to hear the many wonderful truths He has spoken through Him.
