Biblical Counsel on Acquiring Real Estate. Part [17] 02/23/2026 (Morning thought)

Micah 6: 8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

However, God desires that we exercise wisdom and prudence, mercy and justice in our interactions with our fellowmen and as such God wants us to follow Biblical instructions on acquiring real estate where it is applicable. The ways, and means of the kingdom of darkness are to be strictly avoided at all costs… [Patriarchs & Prophets pp 465] “The Lord hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace,” declared Moses, “to be unto Him a people of inheritance.”

[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 465] The land which they were soon to enter, and which was to be theirs on condition of obedience to the law of God, was thus described to them—and how must these words have moved the hearts of Israel, as they remembered that he who so glowingly pictured the blessings of the goodly land had been, through their sin, shut out from sharing the inheritance of his people: “The Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land,” “not as the land of Egypt, from whence you came out, where thou sowed thy seed, and watered it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs.

The land, whither you go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinks water of the rain of heaven;” “a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass;” “a land which the Lord thy God cares for: the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.”

John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Numbers 27:11 And if his father has no brethren, then you shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses.

In the State of Florida, if you pass away without a will, then the court will look to Florida inheritance law for guidance in distributing your assets in the following order: 1.  Spouse, 2. Children, or Grandchildren 3. Parents 4.  Siblings 5.  Children of Deceased Siblings. In other words, if you die in Florida without a will, and you’re married, your spouse will get all of your estate assets, even if you have children.

However, if you have children from a previous relationship, your spouse will only inherit half of your estate, and your children will inherit the other half. As a last resort, if the Florida courts cannot find any distant or close relatives, your estate will then pass to the State of Florida, which of course the state will have no problem in taking, which then means that the government will get everything. It’s unfortunate, but possible. You could read the entire document here:

The 2025 Florida Statutes  Title XLII  ESTATES AND TRUSTS   Chapter 732. In closing, we must remember that this world is not our home, for we are just pilgrims passing through for a brief moment, heading to a better and eternal world, and as such, if it ever comes to a fight over real estate, it is not worth the hassle, to lose sleep, family relations, and your salvation for that which is perishable.

Numbers 27:10 And if he has no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
