Everything is His … Including You

“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it; the world, and all who live in it.” - Psalm 24:1.

The earth belongs to the Lord, the world… and you. This simple truth changes everything. We live in a time when everyone wants to be in control of everything: their choices, their time, their truths, as if they were the masters of themselves. But the Word is clear: nothing truly belongs to us. The air we breathe, our health, the days we live, even the talents we use… all come from God. Everything is His. And if everything is His, then our lives must also be in His hands.

Many people live as if God is only a part of life—a detail, an accessory, something for when there’s spare time. But God cannot be a part. He is the Owner. Maybe you are running after goals, dreams, and achievements while leaving the Owner of your story outside. And that’s when emptiness comes. True meaning cannot be found apart from the One who remains.

The psalm asks a serious question: “Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?”

And the answer is clear: the one who has clean hands and a pure heart. God doesn’t want mere outward religion. He wants inner truth. Not performance, not masks, not appearances. Purity isn’t perfection—it’s sincerity. It’s admitting: “Lord, I need to be transformed.”

Maybe today you realize you’ve tried to control everything… and you’re exhausted. You’ve tried to carry burdens that weren’t yours. But the King of Glory wants to enter. Not as a guest, but as Lord. And when He enters, guilt loses its grip, hope is renewed, and life gains true meaning.

If the Lord knocked on your heart today and said, “Open up… I want to come in,” would you let Him? There is no abundant life without surrender. The earth is His. Life is His. And you can be His too, if you choose.

If you understand this today, pray now:

“Lord, I open the doors of my heart. Come in and reign. I give You everything, because everything is Yours.” Let this prayer mark the beginning of a new life. The King of Glory is ready to enter. Will you let Him?
