Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. (Psalm 124:8)
At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. (Matt. 11;25)
"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. (Acts 17:24)
Thoughts: God is Lord of heaven and earth. These three passages get three different applications from this same fact. Psalm 124 reminds us that the one who made everything by His great power is our help- omnipotent. In Matthew- God knows all things in heaven and earth and reveals and hides to whom He wants- omniscient. In Acts 17 the One who made everything cannot be restricted to any temple made by human hands- He is everywhere in heaven and earth- omnipresent.
God is not just the maker of heaven and earth, He is the Lord. This means He is actively involved- ruling over it all. The Lord cares for what He is Lord over. He manages it, cares about the bad done in it, and cares about our goodness.
Prayer: May my concept of your lordship grow. May I know more of you and entrust myself to you.
