1. The Levites's inheritance (1-42)

Levi had three sons: Kohath, Gershon and Merari. Aaron and Moses were descendants of Kohath. All priests were descended from Aaron. The Levites were the spiritual shepherds of Israel, so they were not assigned a territory, but were scattered in various cities throughout Israel. This fulfilled God's promises to Jacob (Ge 49:7) and to Moses (Ex 32:28,29). God can turn curses into blessings and blessings into curses, depending on one's faith and obedience, or lack of it.

2. The Lord gave rest (43-45)

God promised to give the land to Israel. He kept his promise. Israel occupied the land of Canaan and had rest from war. God is faithful to keep his promises. God's people may lose a few battles, but God is sure to win the war.

Application: Lord, I sometimes lose a battle, but I believe that you will win the war. Help me to persevere so that I may share in your victory.
One Word: God keeps his promises
