I am your inheritance

“And the LORD spoke unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.” – Numbers 18v20

As the promises of the future land inheritance were being handed out Aaron his sons were told of a special inheritance for them. “You will have no inheritance in the land. I am your part and your inheritance,” God told Aaron.

What a special blessing for Aaron and his family. They would not have any land, but they would have God as their share and as their inheritance. In a secular, materialistic society, where so much is based on what we have we think of material things as being the most important. We simply can’t escape it. Possessions are the things that are seen and they have cried out for our attention since the serpent was in the garden.

Adam and Eve walked with God, He was all they needed, but they though they had to have more. Belonging to God and being His children and His people is the greatest possession of all! That is all we really need.

How can we possibly be discontent in this life? God had made us go heirs with His Son Jesus Christ. He has given us an inheritance that is incorruptible, undefiled, that will never fade away!

Praise the Lord for our Wonderful Inheritance!
