The Lord's Portion


Deuteronomy 32:8-9 ESV
8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,

when he divided mankind,

he fixed the borders of the peoples

according to the number of the sons of God.

9 But the Lord's portion is his people,

Jacob his allotted heritage.

This speaks of God's relationship to Israel.  Just as the Levites were set apart among the nation of Israel, so will the house of Israel be set apart among the sons of God.  The Levites received their portion from that which was dedicated to God, serving the people and the worship of God. In the last days, a remnant will be saved and will serve as the firstfruits in the kingdom of God. 

The nations will receive their inheritance and the fullness of their number will be accomplished. Blessed is the man whose portion is God.  Blessed is the man who is God's portion.
Blessed is the body of Christ.
