Scripture
Leviticus 25:23
“The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you reside in my land as foreigners and strangers.”
Observation
The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof. All that we have is his, he has simply entrusted it to us. This knowledge was to affect the way that the Israelites interacted with the land, and managed their resources–because it truly all belongs to God.
Application
All that I have is his. He has given me the responsibility of managing the things he has placed in my hands, but it still all belongs to him. My home, my possessions, my finances, my wife, my children, my job…it is all his. Knowing that it all belongs to him should cause me to take my responsibilities seriously, so that he would be pleased with what he finds when I return these things to his hands.
This week, I need to direct my focus. Not to merely use the things I have for my own enjoyment and fulfillment, but with the intentionality of seeking God’s desire and purpose for the things he has placed in my hands.
Prayer
God, thank you for entrusting all of your blessings to me. Help me to never forget that all I have belongs to you, to be used for your glory.
