Verse of the Day - Ephesians 1:14

"who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory."

Talk about a guarantee
This isn't one of those guarantees you get when buying a car, or like some amazing mattress, this is the guarantee of Jesus Christ
What an amazing thing to remember that we have a 100% assurance that our home is in heaven with God and that it is waiting for us after living on this earth for Christ
All of this being "to the praise of His glory"
Not only do we have the best guarantee there is, we have the knowledge that the reason for this is to glorify God. He is not guaranteeing us to make us feel better, or so we can brag to un-christians about our future place in heave, the purpose is to glorify Him.
As I wait for the future inheritance, which I pray for everyday to come, my perspective of that future should be one that makes me drawn closer to God and desire to bring Him glory as I live. Everyday that I am faced with new trials and persecutions and as the final day draws nearer I should be struck with the realization that God is continually being glorified and I am a tool that He will use if I am willing to be used. I am not a tool for anything but bringing God glory and that awesome thing is that from that I have an inheritance in heaven
