Builds you up and gives you the inheritance:

Acts 20:32
32     “And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
     
            This is what His Word can do for us. It can build us up daily. Of course, it can do nothing if we don’t read and ponder it. We have to permit God to put it into action in our lives. This verse also says that it gives us our inheritance … not the “in the sky, when we die” inheritance, but the “on the earth, while we live” inheritance. Our inheritance begins now, but only as we allow His living Word to work in our lives.

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:
            "My Word is for your edification. It will build you up, not tear you down. It has life in it to perform My will. It only brings beneficial things to your life. It never brings you down, only up. If you will obey My Word, you will see new life in you. It will never cease to grow in you and to bring you into your inheritance. You can trust it because you can trust Me. I will never do anything harmful to you, and it will never do anything harmful to you. It will only bring about blessing, never a curse.”

            62. His Word builds me up every day, as I read and obey it. I can then experience my inheritance in this life.
