The study starts with the division of Canaan, where the tribe of Levi received no land because the Lord Himself was their inheritance. With the psalmists who cried, “You are my portion,” it teaches that to say this is to call God our ultimate inheritance and most valuable possession, in this life and the next. Whatever lot God has given us by His holy will is beautiful and meaningful, whether it looks good or bad to us, and we are called to be content in it.
That inheritance is everlasting, kept in heaven and secured in Christ, in whom we are chosen, adopted, redeemed and sealed by the Spirit. The slides recall the apostles and the faithful of Hebrews 11 who suffered without earthly reward, and the hymn “It Is Well with My Soul.” The lesson closes with grace sufficient in weakness and the call to wait silently for the Lord.
