Psalm 24 – Possession

Been meaning to post up on this Psalm for a very long time….

I suspect it must be close to 2 months now since the last post

Anyway, been hard trying to garner some sort of insight from this Psalm each time I’ve tried working on it. Especially after talking to Ben a few days ago on how they had to preach a mini sermonette on this in their discipleship group, and listening to him expounding on it blew me away. Which also meant me running the risk of ripping his sermon

Till just then I re-read it again and verse one was what spoke to me and what I’m going through right now.

¹ The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;

I know this already. Heck, this truth was even released in church earlier today (albeit different passage). And when I heard it, I just shrugged it aside as nothing new. I know it already. I really detest knowing so much about church and Christianity sometimes.

But I am blessed with abundance to have never been in a position of desperate need and want.

This verse speaks to me now simply because it’s a gentle reminder as to who that source of abundant blessing is. And though I’m about to embark on some potentially financial draining endeavours, which has caused me to reel in frustration as I count my money, revealing how pitiful my savings are and dismayal my stewardship is, I can still trust God.

Because my possession is ultimately His.

My only real possession is Him.

And by simple inference that I’m on this earth, I am His.
