“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him.”
Psalms 24:1 NLT
It is amazing to think that we think the earth is ours, but hearing it is not ours but the Lord’s is challenging. In Australia we hear a lot about indigenous rights. The local aboriginal people do not claim so much to own the land, but rather they are one with the land. However, us whites like possession. We buy, fence and exclude others from our land. This has created tension between races and will do in perpetuity.
As an astronomer I hear a lot about how planets are formed, the creation of new stars etc but rarely is acknowledgment given to the Lord. It is taken for granted that the process which forms stars and planets are automatic or created by unwritten laws of nature, which manikind now attempt to hypothesise.
Why do we have such problems acknowledging the Lord? Because we refuse to bow to Him. We so deify our own thoughts and opinions. Yet, the day is coming soon when all knees will bow. Jesus is coming soon. Every man and woman must bow to Jesus, whether they like it or not.
Come Lord Jesus!
