Arrested

Have you ever been reading a passage of the Bible and only made it one sentence or even part of a sentence in and realized: That phrase alone is enough for me. That is what I need to know right now. That is what I need to meditate on, internalize and fix in my heart, soul, and mind.
Psalm 24:1
“The earth is the Lord’s [there isn’t a period here but there could be]…”
This world is God’s. He rules it with perfect control and knowledge.
This virus raging through the continents – He knows, He is at work.
The ethnic strife around the world – He sees, He’s got this.
The death, war, famine, chaos and suffering – He is aware. It’s His world, scarred by sin, but it’s His. No reason to fear. No justification for worry. No anxiety. The earth is the Lord’s.
We can live in peace. We can be secure in His strength. And hope in His love. The earth is the Lord’s.
