(Psalm 24:1-2 NIV) “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; {2} for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.”
(Genesis 1:1 NIV) “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Often we need a reminder that we are not in charge and that thinking we were in charge is when messed up our life. Most of us don’t come to God because we feel adequate; we come when we realize we are totally inadequate. We come in desperation and He takes us in. He loves us as sons and daughters. And we discover that great truth that everything belongs to God because He made it. The Christ of Creation is the foundation stone of faith. God made it all and owns it all. That includes us. This is why the world today works feverishly to discredit the creation story of Genesis. If they can discredit belief in God as Creator, then God has no claim over it or us. He has no claim on our lives. If God is not the Creator, the rest of scripture is suspect. If the earth is not the Lord’s, we are free to behave as we want, live as we want, and do as we want. We bow to no one. -- Friar Tuck’s Word of the Day
