Ownership

I recently finished a process that I've done now a few times in my life, and that is signing legal documents regarding personal property at a Title company. One of the main reasons for using a Title company is to verify legal and accurate ownership of whatever property is being sold, purchased, or any other directive having to do with the legality of ownership. 

I found this particular appointment interesting because I have been reading Psalm 24 and was reminded of the first sentence about God's claim of ownership of His creation. "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for He founded it on the seas and established it on the waters." (Psalm 24: 1-2) If there was a cosmic Title company it would actually be a pretty easy business to run, because everything belongs to God. Period.

Psalm 90

As I get older one of the Psalms that is growing as one of my favorites is Psalm 90, the first Psalm written and penned by Moses, the man of God. It is a overview of the life of humans, the impact of our sins on God, the futility of associating time and God, and the importance of counting our days as temporal. The line that always kills me is, "Our hidden sins are revealed in the light of your face." 

Here it is in its entirety. 

"Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.

Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world,

from eternity to eternity you are God.

You grind people to dust, and you say, “Return, children of Adam.”

For a thousand years in your sight are like a day, like yesterday that has gone by,

or like a watch in the night.
