Daily Devotional

While other tribes received land, cities, and vineyards, the Levites received something infinitely more valuable – God himself as their inheritance. Their security didn’t depend on property that could be stolen, crops that could fail, or wealth that could disappear. Their portion was the eternal, unchanging Lord.

This should speak powerfully to every believer. We thank God for material blessings – homes, jobs, health, relationships – but these aren’t our ultimate security. They are good gifts from a good Father, but they aren’t our true inheritance. Our inheritance is the Lord himself, and this inheritance can never be taken away.

Whether the stock market rises or falls, whether we have much or little, whether we’re healthy or sick, the Lord remains our portion forever. Nothing can separate us from his love. No circumstance can steal our true treasure. This perspective doesn’t diminish gratitude for earthly blessings; it properly orders our priorities and provides unshakeable security.

When everything else fades – and if we live long enough, it will – one thing remains constant: our portion in the Lord. This inheritance doesn’t depend on our performance, circumstances, or earthly success. It rests solely on God’s character and his finished work in Christ.
