A weekly devotional from CUFI — Scripture, reflection, and a shareable graphic each week.
Then the Lord said to Aaron: “You shall have no inheritance in their land, nor shall you have any portion among them; I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.”.
— Numbers 18:20
In Numbers 18, the Lord instructs the Levites in their priestly duties. As a tribe set apart for the Lord, the Levites were unlike the other tribes of Israel. They did not receive an allotment of land within Canaan, instead, they were to rely solely on the Lord for provision and protection.
In 1 Peter 2:9, Peter refers to both Jewish and Gentile believers as “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession….” Like Old Testament priests, our inheritance is the Lord Himself. As David said, drawing upon this imagery, “The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You support my lot” (Psalm 16:5).
Today, Israel and the Jewish people remain God’s Chosen. In this pivotal time in her history, we stand side-by-side with the Jewish state, with the Lord as our portion and our support. Find out how you can get involved in defending Israel—visit cufi.org/engage today.
