The Lord's earth

WORDs of Saving Grace - the Lord's earth

Psalms 24:1  The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

What a blessing to know and believe the God owns everything. There is nothing He does not own and nothing He would refrain from sharing with us unless it would be harmful.

Psalms 84:11

For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

It is only vanity to think "stuff" can make us happy. When truly it can distract us from the Lord if our heart is set upon it.

Luke 17:31

In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

Psalms 62:10  ... if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

When i think of Jesus my Lord and how He didnt care to have a place He called His permanent home (Matthew 8:20), but instead often spoke of home being with His Father.

His sight was set on high and yet He used the things of this life to show His love for others; Rather than using others to show His love for the things of this life.

He still does this for all men even today. Because man doesnt live by bread alone, but by every word that God speaks to provide for us all.

Matthew 5:45  ... for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
