Infinite Bounty.

“As to priests owning land, I am their inheritance. Don’t give any land in Israel to them. I am their ‘land,’ their inheritance. They’ll take their meals from the grain offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings. Everything in Israel offered to God in worship is theirs. The best of everything grown, plus all special gifts, comes to the priests. All that is given in worship to God goes to them. Serve them first. Serve from your best and your home will be blessed.” -Ezekiel‬ ‭44:28-30‬ (msg)

What if we quit fighting over physical land and set our hearts on the Infinite Bounty that is the Creator of the Universe? What would our day look like? Maybe we would learn to work for the joy of working instead of worldly attainment. Maybe we would learn to not tie our worth up in what we can do or what we have but Whose we are. Maybe we would be content because we have the One Great Inheritance that fills us, and He can never be taken from us. 

“You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are – no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.” – Matthew 5:5 

Or

“Blessed [inwardly peaceful, spiritually secure, worthy of respect] are the gentle [kind-hearted, sweet-spirited, self-controlled], for they will inherit the earth.” -Matthew 5:5

The infinite bounty of God. “I am their ‘land,’ their inheritance… Serve from your best and your home will be blessed.”
