Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
(Psalm 100:3)
Know that God is our creator; we did not create ourselves. Too often, I feel as if we live in such a way where we are the creator of our own little world. We seem to live with a mindset that everything evolves around us, and the decisions that we make. I mean that’s what it pushed our way right?
There are both pros and cons to that mindset. The con is that this mind-set often leads to pride, greed, idolatry, and if everything should be taken away, a loss of hope itself.
The pro is that we are still the ones who are mostly in charge of the decisions that we make, but we must learn to trust that everything we do is for God.
When we realize that God crated us and gives us all we have, we will want to give others as God gave us. Then, if all is lost, we still have God and all he gives us.
The power in understanding that we are His, is knowing what happens when all is lost. If all is lost and we run our world, there is no hope. If we realize that we are His, and all is lost, we still have God and all he gives us.
Life isn’t easy. I mean look at everything that happened this year. Many people all across the world lost nearly all they had. What are you going to do about it? I know that no matter what happens in my life, as long as I have God and all he gives me, I will be at peace.
My prayer for us all, going into the new year it to live knowing that we are God’s and that he created us.
