The Levites were temple workers. God told Moses before they ever made it to their promised land that these Jews from the tribe of Levi would not own land, like all the other Israelites. Instead, they received a very special inheritance in recompense for their service in the Holy Temple…. God!
Today, those of us who worship the Lord Jesus Christ are the temple and our inheritance is also the Lord.
Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself (1 Corinthians 6:19)
Looking at it this way, are we not sort of like ‘modern-day Levites’? And when you consider that our inheritance is no less than the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, even if we get no "spoils" on this earth, it's absolutely okay - because we get Him! He is worth so much more than anything else that we could possibly gain…
