Deut. 10, 11

The tribe of Levi was designated by God to carry and care for the articles of worship and all that was associated with the Tabernacle. They were, in turn, given choice meat and elements of the sacrifices to eat and prime territories to live in without actually owning anything. God said, “I am their inheritance, their possession.”

If you are material-minded, you might say, “Wow, what a gyp.” However, if you are indeed a worshiper, a New Testament priest unto God who values the Lord’s presence above everything else, you might say, “That’s great. He’s ALL I need.”

Once we’ve tasted of the Lord’s goodness and our soul has found its resting place in Him, we are more than content to have JUST JESUS. Like Solomon, since he chose wisdom above all else for his reward, God said, “You’ve made a wise choice … so I will give you everything else as a bonus.” ( my paraphrase )

[The wise man] … when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. -Matt. 13:46
