All Things Are Ours
Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he will fall into his own trap; But the blameless will inherit good. — Proverbs 28:10
But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. — Matthew 6:33

Summary: God’s promises are a secure possession for his people, not goods we can lose through the malice or cunning of our enemies. Our inheritance remains ours, and we will not be turned from the path that leads to it. We already have a clear conscience through the blood of Jesus, God’s unchanging love, power in prayer, and his watchful providence. His angels minister to us, and his Spirit dwells in us. Jesus is ours; all things, present and future, are ours. Therefore, we must not lose heart or live as slaves, but live by God and rejoice in him.
The Book of Proverbs is also a Book of Promises. The promises should be proverbs for the people of God. This promise is most remarkable. We are accustomed to thinking of the good things we have as things we might lose, but here we are told that we shall possess them.
Not even all the malice and cunning of our enemies can bring about our destruction: they will fall into the pit they have dug. Our inheritance is so closely bound to us that we shall not be deprived of it, nor shall we be led so far astray that we fail to find it.
But what do we have now? We have a clear conscience through the precious blood of Jesus. We have the love of God set upon us beyond all change. We have power with God in prayer in every time of need. We have the providence of God watching over us, the angels of God ministering to us, and, above all, the Spirit of God dwelling within us. Indeed, all things are ours: “Whether things present or things to come, all are yours.” Jesus is ours. Yes, the divine Trinity in Unity is ours. Hallelujah. We must not faint or groan, nor stint ourselves or toil like slaves, since we possess good things. Let us live upon our God and rejoice in Him all day long. Help us, O Holy Spirit!
