Numbers 16:9: "No heritage may be transferred from one tribe to another; each Israelite tribe will stick to its own heritage."

God does not have grandchildren. Every single person, must decide for himself to invite God into his/her life. Pray and open the door to the best relationship you will ever have. He will never leave you or forsake you. He will be with you in the midst.

Share your life with Him.

Psalm 16:11: Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

The psalms of David are full of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding for the ones in the right spirit, who humbly sit before the Lord. As it is written “They shall never be moved,” just as David was not moved when he faced Goliath. (Psa 16:8/1 Sam 17:45) The path of life is found only through the Lord, who is the light of this world. Only through Him can we find our salvation and the strength to carry on in life, for whom then should we fear? (Psa 27:1) 

To invite and experience the presence of the Lord we need to have the right discernment. We must all walk in integrity and ask the Lord to correct us when we go astray so we don’t slip and fall. No one is perfect in this world, but when we call out to the Lord in humility, He hears our cry and shows us His lovingkindness, leading us to walk in truth. (Psa 26:1-3)

Having His presence beside you on the path of life that we go through, we will not sit with vain and wicked people. Many today seek to please others with their own wisdom, but they are vain idolaters who seek the approval of men. When you have the right discernment, we will be led to wash our hands and approach His altar, where we will discern His presence at all times before us. (Psa 26:4,6-8) For the Lord our God will take hold of our right hand and say to us, “Do not fear; I will help you.” (Isa 41:13)

Luke 14:11: For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Terrific question, Thaddeus! I would say to treat each day as if you were going to a wedding. It's a joyful occasion. Remember this: Isaiah 61:10 and think of how the bridegroom must feel --

“I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.” 

In Psalm 16:11 the plural form of the noun שִׂמְחָה (simkhah, “joy”) occurs only here and in Ps 45:15. ("With joy and gladness they are led along as they enter the palace of the king.") --bible.org 

"When you stay rooted in Scripture, God makes the “path of life” known to you (Ps. 16:11)." ---chatgpt. "Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving." Colossians 2:6-7 ESV I get this joy everyday as I read through the Bible in a year. I do it through Bible Recap with Tara-Leigh Cobble. You can too! She has different plans. She always says, "He's where the joy is!"

Abound in thanksgiving. Thank God for everything. Start with 3 things each day. And while you're praying, pray these 5 things before reading the Bible each day:

"God, give me wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. 
Let any knowledge I gain help me love You and others more, and not puff me up. 
Help me see something new about You that I’ve never seen before. 
Correct any lies I believe about You or anything I misunderstand. 
Direct my steps according to Your Word. Amen."Tara-Leigh Cobble
