TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to Him.” Psalm 24:1
TODAY’S MESSAGE: The Lord our God is the creator and the ruler of the universe. There is nothing that is not his and nothing that anything or anyone can take control over without his permission. Our God created the sky, the clouds, the oceans and the seas. He is the controller over the animals of the desert and the fish of the sea. He made the mountains, the birds, the grass and all the animals of the world. He is the creator, the Savior and the Lord over you and me. We are made in the image of our God. We are to be like him and live as he does. However, there was an uprising in the heavens at which point the devil was thrown to the earth and became overseer and deceiver of the world we live in. He can, however, do nothing to us without our consent. It is when we live in weakness that the devil and his army rule us and take over our thoughts and deeds. It is when we neglect our Lord God in heaven or even pay no attention to him at all, that we allow the evil one to access our bodies and use them against us and our God in heaven. However, we truly belong to our saving God. We are his instruments and are to follow his ways and not ours or those of the devil himself. Through the death of Jesus on that cross, we are able to know our Lord on a personal level and are able to walk and talk with him at will. It is through the sacrifice of God’s Son that you and I have a chance to live a life deserving of eternal life in heaven. We must remember that when we follow the ways of Jesus, we are instruments of our God and belong to him and not ourselves. It is his choices, his desires and his ways that we are to follow and not any other. It is he, through the Holy Spirit, that directs our ways and our words. It is through prayer, faith, trust and repentance of our sins that we are able to follow him in his ways. We must focus on our faith and not on the world. We must continue our trip down his pathway and not our own. This world belongs to our God in heaven, and he will one day retake possession and make it even better than when he first created it. We are instruments of our God and must work hard to follow his commands for our lives. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
