The Whole Dang Thing is one of the blogs I follow, and one recent post struck me as interesting. It was point 2 (verse 20) that caught my eye, and I wonder if I can relate it to the perceived lack of ‘blessing’ in my life. Ever since I was little I’ve been intrigued by the Levites because they were special.
What if my allotment and inheritance is God? Sometimes I’m really not okay with that, which I’ll be the first to admit shows a lack of trust. But really, there’s a lot of security found in land/farm/jobs, and that feels much more tangible than God does most of the time. And what would my life look like if my security was found in God?
I feel like most of our lives are set up around and lived with the same philosophy that the other 11 tribes would have lived with. They work their land, the land sustains them, and then they pass that land on to their children. But the Levites lived a completely different lifestyle based on a completely different philosophy. Is that lifestyle plausible/possible today? Is it ever necessitated?
I’m working through a lot of thoughts here, but the one thing that I know I can take away from this is that my trust is not fully in God, and I need to allow Him to be the source of my security.
