Christian Commentary
God Owns The Earth
1 CORINTHIANS 10:26 NKJ 26 for "the earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness."
God owns the earth and all its fullness because He created it. And nothing that has happened since has changed who owns the earth.
PSALM 115:16 NKJ 16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S; But the earth He has given to the children of men.
This one verse taken alone could cause someone to think God had given ownership of the earth to mankind. This is not so, as you will see from the verses below. So it must mean that the Lord has given us the use of the earth -- not the title deed of ownership.
Some think the earth belongs to the devil because some translations of 2 Corinthians 4:4 refer to him as the "god of this world." But the word translated "world" in this verse does not mean earth, but a time period.
2 CORINTHIANS 4:4 NKJ 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
Some think the temptations of Christ in Matthew 4 prove the devil has a legal right here on earth.
MATTHEW 4:8-9 NKJ 8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me."
For this to be a real temptation, the devil had to be able to give what he offered Jesus. But here again the word translated "world" does not mean earth. It means the world system, or the governments of mankind who were alienated from God. That just means mankind has yielded to the devil, but it gives no proof that he had ownership or control of the earth.
The devil has no legal authority to control the earth. He only operates here by deception and by influencing people (who do have a right to use the earth) to do wrong.
God still owns the earth!
LEVITICUS 25:23 NKJ 23 'The land shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with Me.
JOB 41:11 NKJ 11 Who has preceded Me, that I should pay him? Everything under heaven is Mine.
PSALM 50:10,12 NKJ 10 For every beast of the forest is Mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills. 12 "If I were hungry, I would not tell you; For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.
HAGGAI 2:8 NKJ 8 'The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,' says the LORD of hosts.
PSALM 24:1 NKJ 1 The earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein.
SAY THIS: My Father God owns the entire earth and all the wealth it contains.

Meeting You Where You Are?
Daily Bible Verse & Prayer
Today's Verse - Philippians 2:14-16
Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Stars! They've always been a source of constant hope for God's people. "I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven..." God told Abraham (Genesis 22:17). "When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them..." David asked (Psalm 8:3-4). The Wisemen, Magi from the East, followed a star to discover baby Jesus (Matthew 2:1-2). Luke reminds us that Jesus was the light coming from heaven to shine on those in darkness (Luke 2:32). And now, we're stars - God's points of light in the dark sky of the universe. Let's make today a day that our light shines God's glory to a dark world around us. We will live for Jesus without complaining or arguing, living pure lives so we can shine God's grace to those who do not know him through Jesus! Let's hold out the word of life in our dark world.
My Prayer...
Almighty God, the incredible expanse of your universe, with its billions of stars, exceeds my limited comprehension. But I thank you for calling me to be a person of light in the dark world around me. I pledge to shine your light in the lives of all those I influence. Through the name of Jesus, your bright and morning star (Revelation 22:16), I pray. Amen.

Live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
I don't want you to think about an orange rhinoceros flying with blue wings. Now quit it. I don't want you to think about that orange rhinoceros anymore. You know there is no such thing as an orange rhino that flies, much less one that flies on blue wings. Quit thinking about him and his blue wings!
Of course, the point is straightforward: the more we try not to do something, the more we focus on it, the more we ensure that we will do what we are not supposed to do. That's why the gift of the Holy Spirit is so important to us as we seek to honor and obey our LORD and Savior Jesus and avoid sin. He enables and empowers us to move beyond our sin and to quit thinking about it. The Spirit empowers us, not by focusing on the sin we want to avoid, but by enriching us and "distracting" us with the important things of God (Galatians 5:22). As we focus more on Jesus, the more the Spirit transforms us away from our sin that we want to avoid and thinking about, and transforming us toward the character of Jesus:
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces reflect and contemplate* the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:17-18).
* The Greek word (κατοπτριζόμενοι) means both "reflect" and "contemplate" as most translations suggest in their footnotes.

My Prayer...
Abba Father, I thank you for your Holy Spirit that lives in me and is now interceding with you for me (Romans 8:26). Please fill me with your Spirit so that my life more nearly reflects your will and focuses on your concerns as the Spirit transforms me to become more and more like my LORD and Savior. Through Jesus, I pray. Amen.
Today's Verse - John 8:31-32
Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
There are few things more coveted than freedom. People die for it. People pray for it. People strive for it. True freedom comes from knowing truth, the truth, God's truth. Knowing God's truth ultimately comes by living in obedience to Jesus. Truth is not just something we think about or believe in our heads. Truth must be believed in the way we live our lives, in the way we use our words, in the actions we demonstrate toward others, and in our obedience to what Jesus taught. Truth is something we do, we live. As Jesus said:
Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them (John 13:17).And Jesus' brother emphasized:
...they will be blessed in what they do (James 1:25).Jesus said:
"If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
My Prayer...
To the only true God be glory, honor, power, and praise. Father, I seek not only your presence in my daily life, but also your pleasure in the choices I make and the things that I do with my life. Please teach me more of your truth as I pledge to live today in obedience to your word and your will. Please make your truth real in my life through the things I think, say, and do in respect and honor to you. Amen.
