Psalm 24:1-4
1 Of David. A psalm. The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false.

Imagine that you had never met or heard about this "Lord." You found out he owns everything - your land, your house, your career, your vehicle, your family - you get the point.Yet he does not treat you as a slave, but rather with respect.

How does God's sovereignty affect your relationship with him?

How could your view of wealth or resources affect how you view God?

How does knowing that God is the owner and not you change the way you look at what you have?

Psalm 33:6-9
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars ; he puts the deep into storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him.
9 For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.

Consider the vastness of God

He created the "heavens" including all of the stars
- He stores the ocean in "jars"
- He spoke the world into existence!
- How should we approach him?

Psalm 115:1-15
1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.
2 Why do the nations say, "Where is their God?"
3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.
4 But their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see;
6 they have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but they cannot smell;
7 they have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but they cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
8 Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
9 O house of Israel, trust in the LORD-- he is their help and shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD-- he is their help and shield.
11 You who fear him, trust in the LORD-- he is their help and shield.
12 The LORD remembers us and will bless us: He will bless the house of Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron,
13 he will bless those who fear the LORD-- small and great alike.
14 May the LORD make you increase, both you and your children.
15 May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

God the invisible(v2), "Maker of heaven and earth"(v15)

What do you think this means: "Heaven belongs to the Lord, but the earth he has given to mankind"?
