Psalm 24:1<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe earth\u00a0is\u00a0the\u00a0Lord\u2019s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If this is God’s world, and it is, He is in control over everything in it. Why should we ever question who it belongs to?\u00a0 Well, let me give you another Scripture.\u00a0 It is found in 2 Corinthians 4:4:\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThe god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

God made this world and placed the first man and woman in the Garden of Eden.\u00a0 The choice to believe Satan in the Garden led to the fall of all men into a sin nature.\u00a0 This means that all are born in sin and must be redeemed in order to have eternal life.<\/p>\n

The important thing we need to keep uppermost in our mind is that Satan functions with lies and deceptions.\u00a0 He is the one who brings negative thoughts of hopelessness and despair.\u00a0 He is the one who leads the world into conflicts of all types, fights between individuals, families and even nations.<\/p>\n

That is why it is so important to have a proper understanding of God.\u00a0 Not only did God create all things, He also provided a way by which sinful man may be redeemed from the nature of sin.\u00a0 It cost Him His very own Son, but it proved that God is in control and those who seek Him will find victory and assurance.<\/p>\n

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!<\/p>\n
