Of course, he was only a boy - maybe 12 or 13 - but my son Dan (tongue-in-cheek, I'm sure) thought
All Dan would have to do to reach this goal was...wait until his father made his millions...and then inherit them!
********************
Well, even then he knew that it wasn't a sure-fire or fool-proof plan, and it's a good thing he didn't rely on it! His father, though a good provider, is still far from becoming a millionaire! His earthly father, that is.
*********************
But what about our Heavenly Father? We don't have to wait for Him to amass a fortune, do we? After all,
"The earth is the LORD's and everything in it..." (Psalm 24:1)
***************
And He is not a stingy Father!
"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19)
"God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all you need, you will abound in every good work." (II Corinthians 9:8)
******************
Best of all:
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy He has given us a new birth into the living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in Heaven for you." (I Peter 1:3,4)
When we become God's children, we become his heirs.
We can become spiritual "millionaires"
because of Who our Father is!
