“Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you.”           Genesis 13:17 NIV

Lot would never know! Nor will we, if we make our choices on the basis of what we see, relating to the materialistic, commercial standards of those about us. But if, like Abram, we are content to have what the Lord gives us in life, all the fullness of Christ will be ours. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 3:21b-23 (NIV): ” All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God. God said to Abram, “Not only do I give this land to you, but I will fill the land with your descendants.” That is, “I will make you fruitful beyond belief. I will make your life one of such blessing that after you are gone there will be those who will stand up and say, ‘I received my spiritual life through that man/woman; there came to me strength for my journey through them; they have been a great blessing to my heart and life.'” Then He said to Abram, “Arise, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.” The land is all that Christ will be to us through the eternal ages to come. Our Lord is saying to us, “Don’t wait for it. You don’t have to wait until you die to enjoy this. You can have it now, if you will possess it in Christ. For you have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus.”
