The God of the Universe

“All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord,
And all the families of the nations will worship before Thee.
For the kingdom is the Lord's,
And He rules over the nations.
All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship,
All those who go down to the dust will bow before Him,
Even he who cannot keep his soul alive.
Posterity will serve Him;
It will be told of the Lord to the coming generation.
They will come and will declare His righteousness
To a people who will be born, that He has performed it.” Psalm 22:27-31

Who was God in David’s life? He was and is the God of the universe! Because David knew God so intimately, he shares His world vision. David desired to see his nation return to God, to answer His call.

Who was David? A poor shepherd. Yet God saw that his heart was set to serve the living God. God can make up the difference when you are totally committed to do His will. David knew God to be the Author and Owner of the universe. He was able to weather circumstances differently, because he knew God was in control. His life, his destiny - were not isolated perchance happenings. David sensed that he was a part of what God was doing. You could say he had a historical, even biblical, perspective.

Do you serve the God of the universe as David did? Are you concerned about the politics and weather conditions in countries half way around the world because they affect God’s work there? Or is your God the God who cares only about your electric bill, the new dining room suite, and the transmission on the second car?

If you will dream big as David did, pray big as David did, make yourself available as David did - the God of the universe will use you too - beyond your highest hopes. Praise Him. Be faithful where you are.

Remember what Jesus said in Luke 16:10 -
“He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much.”
