"AN INHERITANCE INCORRUPTIBLE ... RESERVED IN HEAVEN FOR YOU." Our inheritance, chosen by God for us, fades not away! It is everlasting. Can you honestly and heartily say that your inheritance is in heaven? Are you so fully persuaded of the Lord's wisdom and have such unshakable faith in the Lord's love? Are you so resigned to the Lord's will and do you sufficiently desire that the Lord's glory be advanced as to say cheerfully, "He shall choose my inheritance for me?" Do you approve of His wise counsel in choosing for you? If not, you cannot adopt this language tonight. It includes an entire surrender to the Lord, a desire to be wholly at His disposal, and acquiescence in all His appointments: trials, comforts, gifts, place of residence, time and circumstances of death. You may be sure of this, that if the Lord choose for you, He will do for you as Joseph did for his father and brethren: He will choose the best. It is therefore your wisdom to commit all to the Lord and leave Him to manage your affairs. It is a great privilege to have God to choose for us, one who knows all persons, things, and events; and knows all perfectly. It is yours to be content with the choice God has made for you, for you would not have chosen better; you would not have chosen so well.

For Meditation:
Now as on hallowed ground I stand,
Reviewing what is past,
I see His love and wisdom planned
My path from first to last.
