OWNERSHIP!
Romans 14:7-8 – Devotional
Romans 14:7-8
“For we don’t live for ourselves or die for ourselves. If we live, it’s to honor the Lord. And if we die, it’s to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.”
A man decided to fence in his back yard so his dogs would have a place to run and play without being on a leash. As he was digging the holes for the posts, his neighbor came storming out and demanded an explanation; he claimed that the posts would be on his property.
It turned out, after the expense of a survey, that the posts would have encroached one inch onto the neighbor’s property. It was a petty squabble that damaged the relationship between the two neighbor’s who had once been friends.
Determining ownership of property is a small thing compared to determining the ownership of our lives. To whom do we belong? Who holds the title deed to our life? Paul sums it up for us very well when he says, “. . . whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.”
If we are the Lord’s, it’s time we start living like it. That means letting go of the things that are temporary and grasping the things of eternal value.
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
