To acknowledge that the
Lord is God is to recognize and accept that God is in control of all things. He
is actively ruling over all creation. He is beyond our comprehension or
understanding. He is absolute goodness in all things which are good. He is absolute
holiness incapable of having sin in His presence. He is unchangeable and
eternal. He is capable of doing all things He has revealed He has done. He is
not limited in His knowledge and power. He is love personified and has taken an
invested interest in us. He created us with a need for fellowship with Him that
can only be fulfilled by Him. The Lord, He is God!
We are not who we are
by some random act of nature. The Lord has made us who we are--a people capable
of having a spiritual relationship with Him. He has made us differently than
any other created life on earth. We are spiritual beings encased in fleshly
bodies who will live eternally. We are made in the image of God.
We are His when we
accept the life we have been created to have in Him. Sin prevents us from being
who we were created to be, but the Lord does away with sin. We become His
people when we submit to Him, confess our sin to Him, acknowledge Him as the
only one who can take away our sin, and commit ourselves to living in relationship
with Him. We become His people, a people who reflect His character in all that
we do.
We are the sheep of His
pasture, a people who rely on Him for guidance and our daily food. We are a
people who are content to rest in His loving care and trust Him to always treat
us well.
Is the Lord God for you
today? Can you say with joy in your heart that you are His? Are you resting in
His care for you, trusting in His goodness and love? Are you?
