Mark Twain tells of the day the King and the Queen of a faroff country were bringing their new little Prince home from the royal hospital. On the way home their carriage collided with a poor pauper's cart. In the humble vehicle the poor man was bringing his wife and new baby home from the midwife's house. In the confusion of the moment, the two couples picked up the wrong babies by mistake and the little Prince went home to be raised by the pauper and his wife.

As the baby grew into childhood, he was forced to go into the streets and beg for food. However, unknown to him the very streets he begged on belonged to him because they were the property of his true father. Day in and day out he would go to the palace and looking through the iron fence at the little boy playing there and he would say to himself, "Man, if only I were a Prince." Of course, he was the Prince! But he was not aware of that
fact.

He lived his whole life in poverty because he didn't know who he really was since he didn't know "who" his father was.

How true this is of many Christians. It is easy to go through life doing the same thing. They have never taken time to find out who they belong to. They have never realized who their real Father is. Ever since the day we were born spiritually, we became sons and daughters of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! We are heirs of a royal throne. How sad to think we go through selfimposed spiritual poverty and cheat ourselves out of the riches of God's marvelous grace. The riches are there whether we enjoy them or not. God the Father has made provision for every need in your daily walk with Christ.

Many "believers" are "unbelievers" when it comes to taking God at His word when He tells us who we are in Christ.

From the moment you believed on Christ, God has provided you with everything you need to live the Christian life.
