God Judges what He Owns! (Video Songs) Day 36

Please read Psalm 50:1-23

Christians might not recognize Psalm 50, but they do know and recite many phrases in the Psalm. The ESV text has the title  “God Himself Is Judge” and Asaph is its author. We will study the Psalm over the next few days but today we will look at the teaching of 3 verses (Psalm 50:10-12).

The first verse of Psalm 24 makes it clear that “The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein” (Psalm 24:1). Man needs to understand the truth that God owns EVERYTHING in the world. The knowledge that God owns and is over everything- “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool” - should humble man (Isaiah 66:1-2). He controls everything – the day, the night, the sun and the moon (Psalm 74:16). Also, scripture teaches that God owns all the wealth (Haggai 2:8) and He can give and He can take it away. (Deuteronomy 8:18, 1 Timothy 6:17, Proverbs 11:28, Proverbs 28:22, Exodus 3:21-22).

Dear brother and sister in Christ, the Bible teaches that all life on earth belongs to God (Psalm 50:10-11), and you and your soul are in the hands of God (Ezekiel 18:4; Luke 12:16-20). Since God simply owns you he could do anything to you for your sin and disobedience, yet through Jesus’ sacrifice (1 Peter 1:18-19, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20) He reconciles you to Himself (Colossian1:20). One day all creation, saved and damned, will acknowledge His Lordship (Philippians 2:10-11). In the Philippians text, the ESV uses the English word Lord, but the Greek word is kyrios which means the owner, the one who controls a person, the possessor or disposer of a thing. So do you recognize God’s divine ownership of/in your life? Also, whenever you state, “Jesus is my Lord”, do you realize you are affirming that he is your owner?

Dear Jesus, my senses have been dulled by the platitudes I speak about you, your cross, and your sacrifice. Ignite in me the full awareness that you are my Creator, my Savior, and my Lord. Amen.
