The Daily Word of Righteousness
Our Christian Pilgrimage, #37
The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and his inheritance. Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the Lord is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them. (Deuteronomy 18:1,2)
Most importantly, God Himself in Christ becomes our inheritance. God must never become a means to our ends. It is God Himself who is our goal, our desire, our longing, our portion. It is the Lord's desire that we belong to Him in a unique way; and while we may gain many treasures in the land of promise we finally shall come to realize that he who possesses God possesses all else and has found perfect peace and joy at last.
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. (Isaiah 12:2)
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win [gain] Christ, (Philippians 3:8)
Christ Himself is our goal, our rest.
All we have written above constitutes our land of promise, our "Canaan." The possession of Christ Himself is of supreme importance.
He who conquers shall inherit all things. He shall reign forever as one of God's stars, taking the place of the fallen principalities who have, in defiance of God's will and Divine order, left their appointed place.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. (Revelation 21:7)
Our entire first personality must be assigned to the cross. It is only that which dies in Christ and is raised again by and through Him that can be our eternal possession. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. (I Corinthians 15:50)
Today there is a sound of a going forth of the Lord, the tramping of feet shod with the bronze of Divine judgment, the thunder of the captains, the shouting of battle. The white stallions of righteous warfare are pawing in impatience. It is the time to take the Kingdom.
Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible. He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. (Job 39:19-21)
When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops. (Habakkuk 3:16)
"Even so, come, Lord Jesus." (from From Egypt to Canaan)
