God owns it all. He is the One Who created everything. He has made us stewards of His creation. So what should be our response? Gratitude. If we live from that kind of perspective, worry, stress, anxiety, depression won’t exist. The reason we have all of these emotions is the fact that we tend to focus on ourselves and not God. Every day we have a choice: we can live self-centered or God-centered. If we live the way God intends, we live the best life possible. Think about that today, and let it come out in your actions. You’ll be surprised at the results.
7 “O My people, listen as I speak.Here are My charges against you, O Israel:I am God, your God!8 I have no complaint about your sacrifices or the burnt offerings you constantly offer.9 But I do not need the bulls from your barns or the goats from your pens.10 For all the animals of the forest are Mine,and I own the cattle on a thousand hills.11 I know every bird on the mountains,and all the animals of the field are Mine.12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you,for all the world is Mine and everything in it.13 Do I eat the meat of bulls?Do I drink the blood of goats?14 Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God,and keep the vows you made to the Most High.15 Then call on Me when you are in trouble,and I will rescue you,and you will give Me glory.”
Psalms 50:7-15
