“For the LORD’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance (Deut. 32:9).
“Jacob is the lot of his inheritance”. In other words, God was saying, “Jacob, you belong to Me for ever.
You are more precious to Me than the whole world.” God never called the sun, moon or stars His
inheritance. The privilege given by God to Jacob was great indeed. Praise God, the same privilege is given
to us as well. We are called God’s inheritance. “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that
ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the
saints” (Eph. 1:18).
Then we read, “He… led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye” (Deut. 32:10).
This also will happen to you provided you are willing to put away all your strange gods. “For thus saith the
LORD of hosts;… he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye”. (Zech. 2:8).
`
In Deut. 32:11 we read, “As an eagle stireth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her
wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings.” The Lord may stir you out of your nest also, because He
wants you to learn to fly on high places.
While I was in Yugoslavia I found that grapes were served for breakfast, lunch and tea. They were large,
luscious grapes too, and big bunches of them were on the table in abundance. That reminded me how
God wants to give us everything in abundance provided we put away all our strange gods and return to
Bethel. That is the only way to receive God’s blessings fully. Do not let your wife, or husband, or friends,
relations or your business or your pleasures keep you away from Bethel. God says, “I am the Almighty
God”. He is mighty to save you, to keep you, to lead you and bless you. Make Deut. 32:7 to 14 your
personal experience. Ask the Lord to give you His best and show you your full portion in Bethel, the House
of God.
