Psalms 24:1

The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Many times people behave as though this world and all that is in it was created primarily FOR OUR PLEASURE and enjoyment to frolic, cavort around, and to please ourselves. THIS IS ALL WRONG. The result of this attitude is the suffering, heartaches, and wretchedness that we endure in our own lives and to which our news media give constant witness. THIS IS MY FATHER’S WORLD. The Bible says of Jesus: “All things were made by HIM; and without him was not anything made that was made.” John 1:3. And again, “Thou art worthy, O Lord to receive glory and honor and power: for THOU HAST CREATED ALL THINGS, and for thy pleasure they are and were created”. If you don’t bow the knee to Him, honor Him and serve Him, you have missed the glorious PURPOSE and the high calling FOR WHICH YOU WERE CREATED, and this will result in AN ETERNITY OF LOSS, suffering, and sorrow. Jesus says: “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me”. The world is not our own private play pen. We are responsible to God, and one day “EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW, AND EVERY TONGUE CONFESS THAT JESUS IS LORD, TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER’’, Philippians 2:10,11.
