Belonging

To whom do you belong? Where do you find your purpose? How do you understand your identity, this world, and your role in this world?

This world is God’s and everything and everyone in it. Our purpose and our vocation in this life depends on the God who designed it, made it, and purposed everything in it. We find our belonging in the one to whom we belong—we belong to God.

The Psalmist writes, “The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein.” (Psalm 24:1 ESV).

When we see ourselves as belonging to God and living in a world that belongs to God, it is easier to focus on God and his purposes in the world and to seek to do the will of God.

May we see ourselves as belonging to God and seek to do his will in this world of his.

A Prayer for Joy in God’s Creation: “O heavenly Father, you have filled the world with beauty: Open our eyes to behold your gracious hand in all your works; that, rejoicing in your whole creation, we may learn to serve you with gladness; for the sake of him through whom all things were made, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (#21., Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
