Only God

Num 18:20 Then the LORD said to Aaron: "You shall have no inheritance in their land, nor shall you have any portion among them; I a your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.

The last part stating that God is Aaron's portion is amazing, because here after years of service to the lord and tons of Trial all this really implies is that Aaron really only has God as a portion and inheritance. Honestly, that really challenged my heart it made me look and see what the Lord was telling me was un healthy. But even as a whole we need to remember that when this world fades away all we really should have left is God.
I can't even begin to describe what the Lord is showing me in this verse. besides the fact that way too often do we place our trust in earthly things and as the common verse states it will all rust away and be destroyed(Mat 6:19-20) this message is needed for the church today we haven taken advantage of the world and rather then keep God as the main and only thing when we leave this temporary home we cling to our earthly treasures what ever they may be. We read that Aaron was stripped of his robe and it is passed on a symbolism in my view of him really being stripped of what ever he believes to be part of the world. I even was reminded once again of that when I read the story of Balaam and yes he made mistakes but he also said that he would not give up the Lord for earthly treasures (Num 22:18)
that was really the essence of Aarons heart he stayed on with his task and really he knew his inheritance was God and God alone.
True devotion comes from knowing and believing that God is the only person/thing you while ever have left with in the end. That is true devotion believing in something you can't see yet dedicating your life to it and knowing, (obviously there will fruits in our ministry) in the end only God will be there when everything else goes apart. When the end of the day is over God is there, and thats true Devotion!
I hope I did not take that verse too far out of context but I feel the lord is using this verse for my own life perhaps no one else sees it this way(:
