1 The earth is the LORD'S, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof and everything that dwells on the earth belongs to the Lord. He owns all the cattle on the hillside. He owns every dollar that we spend and everything that we buy. He owns every house and every piece of wood that it took to build that house; He owns every stick of wood that was used to make the furniture that we call our own. Every creeping thing and every creepy thing belongs to Him. We were created by Him and for Him. We were created by His purpose and we were created for His purpose.
It can be overwhelming to try to comprehend just all that this verse really says. For some it might even be difficult to reason. Too many people look at life from the perspective, "What about me?" We want to look at life and say, "Look at what I have done; look at what I have worked to have; look at what I have accomplished."
God created everything in the world for our benefit. He tells us that the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. He created it all so that we might have life and we might have it more abundantly! He did it all for us. He so much wants to bless us and give us the desires of our hearts but in order for Him to do that we have to give Him our hearts first!
We need to remember that because the earth is the Lord's and everything that is contained in it, He knows more about its purpose than we do. God knows that given the right perspective, all that He has created can be our greatest asset! However, given the wrong perspective, it can be our biggest downfall.
All that God has is really not about Him at all; it is really all about us! Put God to the test and allow him to be God in your life and see just how incredibly blessed He will make your life!
