This heritage refers to dwelling with God who permanently removes sadness and pain from us, who continuously makes all things new, and who fully satisfies all our thirsts and appetites (verses 1-7). This heritage belongs to His children, who--like Him--conquers anything that distorts His goodness. to not be His is to be enslaved by fear, doubt, repulsiveness, killings, sexual confusion, evil manipulations, covetousness, twisted imaginations, and dishonesty (verses 7 and 8).

I've learned that behind most of what wounds, cripples, and defeats me is fear. And fear (cowardliness) is simply a bad idea. That's all it is. It has no power of its own, but it tricks me into doing its dirty work. Ben Courson wrote: "But courage is not the absence of fear, it is being stronger than fear ... It understands that fear's only intrinsic power is making us believe it is omnipotent.... So it is in realizing that courage is greater than fear that fear is overcome."

Lord, thank You for the experiences and choices that You allow into my life. The teach me and they train me to become a conqueror of fear and hopelessness... to become Your child.
