Whether the slogan is really theirs doesn't really matter. One of the predictions on their agenda is that by 2030 all products will have become services. Think about that, whatever you need someone will provide for you. At first, it sounds great, just snap your fingers and it will be brought to you.
But in reality, it will make us very dependent on the people who provide those services. In reality, it is rephrasing the slogan I started with. A slogan straight out of the mouth of Satan. Why? Because it is twisted truth, it is a deception.
The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 6:10, Our hearts ache, but we always have joy. We are poor, but we give spiritual riches to others. We own nothing, and yet we have everything.
Now this, dear friends, is the truth. Everything belongs to God, the Creator of the Universe. So, in that sense we own nothing indeed, we never did. If it wasn't for the breath in our lungs that the Lord gives us each day we wouldn't be able to work for money to buy a car or a house.
Look, the highest heavens and the earth and everything in it all belong to the Lord your God (Deuteronomy 10:14).
God owns everything and we get to take care of it, which makes us stewards. This goes for the earth and all that is in it as well as for spiritual riches entrusted to us (believers). It all has been given to us to take care of as long as this earth exists.
👉We can do so joyfully, honestly, and productively (no matter how great or small our influence is) and that will make us happy indeed because we will bring glory to God!
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all (1 Chronicles 29:11).
When we realize that God is THE owner of all, we can't help but be better stewards of everything He's entrusted to us.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Marja!
Thanks Martha, and it is an honor to be stewards of all He has made!
DeleteMarja: Yes, God is the owner of all we have. He even loans up our children to raise for Him. When we go before Jesus, He will ask us certain questions. One that He will ask us is what we did with Him.He may also ask us how we managed what He gave us.
ReplyDeleteYes Cecelia that is so true, even children are a gift from God. The parable of the talents clearly shows us that God expects us to work with what He has given us, as best as we can.
