Psa 24:1 | MHM | STEP | The Earth Belongs to the LORD This psalm reminds us that God owns everything on earth. The world and everything in it belong to Him, not just the heavens. Even though the earth seems small compared to the heavens, God still knows and rules over it. Everything we have—our homes, land, and all the treasures of the earth—are His. We are only tenants using what God allows us to have. God’s rule covers every part of the earth, and wherever we go, we are still on His ground. This truth is also a reason why we should be thankful for what we have and not jealous of what others have, because it all belongs to God. The apostle Paul also used this truth to teach that everything we enjoy is from God and not to be used for idols (1 Corinthians 10:26, 28 ). v. 1 : The earth is the Lord ’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein . God owns all the land, animals, treasures, and even the people who live on earth. We do not belong to ourselves; we belong to God who made us.

‏ Psalms 24:1

The Earth Belongs to the LORD

This psalm reminds us that God owns everything on earth. The world and everything in it belong to Him, not just the heavens. Even though the earth seems small compared to the heavens, God still knows and rules over it. Everything we have—our homes, land, and all the treasures of the earth—are His. We are only tenants using what God allows us to have. God’s rule covers every part of the earth, and wherever we go, we are still on His ground. This truth is also a reason why we should be thankful for what we have and not jealous of what others have, because it all belongs to God. The apostle Paul also used this truth to teach that everything we enjoy is from God and not to be used for idols (1 Corinthians 10:26, 28 ^a).

v. 1: The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein . God owns all the land, animals, treasures, and even the people who live on earth. We do not belong to ourselves; we belong to God who made us.
