Everything Belongs to God

Lady of Light

If you read the introductory verses of Ps. 24, you get a true sense of perspective on the world:

"The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods."

When we are distracted by the influences of this world and people's sense of ownership, we can reflect on these verses and realize that everything belongs to God. We belong to God. Not only that but in the manner of speaking "the fulness thereof" , this Psalm encourages us to be mindfulness of the fullness, rather than barrenness or emptiness.
Meditating on these verses causes me to realize the creation of God and be more conscious of nature and the good things of the earth. I can understand as a result of these verses, why many have a concern for the environment. We need to appreciate and care for all God has shared with us - including one another.

So, with this view in mind, appreciate the world around you - focus on what God has done for all of us. Not only did he send his son, Jesus, to die for our sins so that we can have eternal life, he has bountifully provided a fulness in the earth for us to enjoy.

God Bless You,
