Ezekiel 44:28 KJV
And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession.
I see the priesthood as being only slightly typical of the ministry and more typical of the average Christian. Jesus Christ, the Bible says, has made us both kings and priests. As priests, I tend to believe we can apply many principles of the Old Testament priesthood to the believer today.
That being said, what a promise God has made that He is the inheritance of the priesthood and He is their possession.
We make too much out of worldly possessions. We desire too many of the frills and fancies that belong only to this life. We allow ourselves to get entangled with these possessions that then entangle us in the affairs of this world.
So much better would we be off, so much more of a treasure we would lay up in heaven if we heeded this passage and enjoyed the Lord as our possession rather than striving for the things of earth.
