Promise 23 from Numbers 18:20

Numbers 18:20 - "Then the Lord said to Aaron, 'You shall have no inheritance in their land nor own any portion among them; I am your portion and your inheritance among the sons of Israel.'" - Do you realise what a relief this is? I don't know about you, but I've spent so  much time "investing" in people and places during my life time. Investing in relationships, investing in status, investing in culture, investing in the spiritual lives of others. There was a long season of my life where respect was a must for me. I also NEEDED to be needed. This lead to a life of striving for that status of respect from others and a place to be needed by others. Praise the Lord for God's freedom! No person and no place owes me anything! God is my portion, and Him alone. I can work along side others, I can love people and can be sensitive to the culture around me, but I am not chained or obligated to anyone or any place. God has given that freedom. I don't need to strive to inherit anything from this earth, I have my full inheritance in Christ, He is my portion, He fills me up! Thank you Jesus!
