“Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.” - Psalms 100v3
We so often tend to put so much reliance on ourselves. We often think that everything in out lives depends on us. Therefore when things start to go wrong we are in utter turmoil because we feel like we are not in control of the situation.
When the psalmist was in turmoil he knew where to turn. He laid out some wonderful truths here.
The Lord is God
He made us, we did not make ourselves
We are His people
We are the sheep of His pasture
There is no a lot of room in there for pride. There is not a lot of room in there for – “I can do something about this.”
He is God – that means He in control
He made us – that means He has a plan for us
We are His people – we belong to Him, a purchased possession
We are the sheep of His pasture – we depend totally on Him for our sustenance
Why do we have such a hard time with this concept? It’s simple, we are proud and we think we know more than Him.
