Scriptural Basis:
Psalm 139, Psalm 52 and Ephesians 2
In the above verses the Lord showed me 3 basic but profound points. The first is that we are in God's constant watchcare. The knows where we are at all times. This reminds me of when our parents always wanted us to tell them where we were going and what time we would return. This was not because they wanted to control our life. It was simply that they cared for our lives and safety.
The second is that we need to trust in God's protection. This is probably one of the hardest things for us humans to do. Why is this? I think it is because we want to see physically our protector. We line out homes with security systems, locks and cameras. The vehicles we own are the same way. We have a keypad to enter our car. BTW who has ever seen someone use that? I never have...
The final thing is that it is only by God's special favor that you have been saved. We proved through the whole old testament that man could not restore a broken relationship with God. We tried and failed. God in his great grace and mercy had a plan. That was Christ! That special favor is the Lord himself. Now our personal relationship is restored with our father. Time to have a family reunion.
While listening to this song one scripture keeps popping up in my mind. This would be:
Psalm 8:3-5
3 When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers--the moon and the stars you have set in place-- 4 what are mortals that you should think of us, mere humans that you should care for us? 5 For you made us only a little lower than God, and you crowned us with glory and honor.
What is man? Why did God do it? Why did he create us? Simply what the last part of the song says."Cause I am Yours,
I am yours."
He loves us and we are his. Parents you get that last part. Kids you will someday.
