TOPIC: GOD IS OUR PORTION
TEXT: Psalm 16:1-11
KEY VERSE: “The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.” – (Psalm 16:5)
DCLM Daily Manna 4th March 2022 | MESSAGE:
Moses rehearsed this truth to ]the hearing of Israel in the wilderness that “the LORD’S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance” (Deuteronomy 32:9). Every Israelite was meant to know and appreciate the fact that all he or she needs in life is concealed in their ‘treasure chest’, which is Jehovah, their God. None was to seek any help or wealth outside this commonwealth of Israel.
The priests were to have no agricultural land in Israel and they were not to engage in any other profession or occupation, or any other servile work, but concentrate in the service of the Lord in the tabernacle. By this ordinance, the Levites were to be sustained from the tithes of the agricultural produce gathered from other farming tribes. Few people were to be fed and maintained by a large population of faithful worshipers of God.
The principle still operates today but in a modified form. All believers in Christ, who trust that the Lord is capable of providing all their needs according to His riches in glory, actually have their needs met by the Lord. Whereas, those who doubt God’s word and engage in clandestine vocations and activities, those who join the crowd of unbelievers in their questionable practices, often pay a high price.
Like Achan and other sons of Belial in the Bible, they will soon face summary judgment if they do not abandon their evil ways. We should know that only the just shall live by faith while those who draw back, do so to their own peril.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Trust God and get paid handsomely.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 1-2
