There are (and have been) so many men who want to own and rule this world. So many who would be king of the world…king of the universe. None of them ever succeeded. None of them ever will. It may appear they did or have…but only for the briefest of time. When you consider eternity, time without end, a couple of decades here on earth is barely even a vapor. So considering no one ever holds onto the power, have you considered who really owns this world? I’ll let you in on a poorly kept secret…
…my Father owns it.
Yep, it’s that pesky Christian talking about his “Father God” again. Well, if I’m wrong, then you can spend eternity making fun of me. I’ll deserve it. But if I’m not wrong, then this is God’s world. He thought it up. He designed it. He created it. He even broke it once and let the waters of the deep cover about 70% of the Earth’s surface. And the reason He broke it…and the reason it’s so spiritually and emotionally broken now…is because He has some bad renters.
But one day, maybe soon, He’s gonna come back and kick out the bad property managers, lay down a just set of rules for the renters, and restore His property. Then, don’t be surprised if He just tears it all down and builds something all new and even more spectacular.
I hope you’re part of the family before this all happens. I’d love to talk to you about it one day…either here and now or in Heaven. In the meantime, here’s an old hymn that talks about who really owns this world…
This Is My Father’s World
This is my Father’s world,
and to my listening ears
all nature sings, and round me rings
the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world:
I rest me in the thought
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
His hand these wonders wrought.
This is my Father’s world,
the birds their carols raise,
the morning light, the lily white,
declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world:
He shines in all that’s fair;
in the rustling grass I hear Him pass;
He speaks to me everywhere.
This is my Father’s world.
O let me ne’er forget
that though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world:
why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King; let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let the earth be glad!
