My portion, my inheritance

Tonight, during the CGC training with Pst Zhuang, I caught smth that really encouraged my heart.

"But (the Levites) don't get land-inheritance like the rest of their kinsmen (because) God is (already) their inheritance. " (Deuteronomy 18:2 MSG)

So many times, I struggle with the calling of God in my life. I ask myself whether it's worth my time, effort, studies to sacrifice for the kingdom of God. I serve faithfully in the House believing that all things will be added unto me but I never seem to do as well as my friends, who are non-believers, academically. It is not an easy battle because I struggle with my carnal desires to give up the fight.

But tonight, it was impressed upon us that God is looking out for the people who are faithful to their callings regardless of how the world laughs at us. Of course this doesnt mean that we can slacken and stop desiring for worldly recognitions. Otherwise there wouldnt be a need for market place ministry. No, it tells us that the people who are faithful in the House of God shall eventually reap their blessings. They shall be the head in their respective marketplaces, they will come up above all.

Like the verse quotes, we may not get the kind of inheritance people of the world are looking for, but God will be our inheritance, God will be Our portion.This really brought comfort to my soul.
