All Creation belongs to the Lord, that is the Truth of God's Word. The animals, birds and insects all belong to Him. The trees, mountains and beautiful beaches next to the sea, all belong to Him.
We belong to the Lord - BELONG is a powerful word. It means that we are His: We belong to Him. He is not someone whom we visit on the days that we go to Church or Fellowship. He is with us every moment of every night and day - we belong to Him.
This Scripture also mentions that He belongs to us! Our relationship with Him does not just depend on "Sunday visits"!
If we know that we are His, that we belong to Him, it means that we have confidence to PRAISE Him and PRAY to Him. It also means that we will LOVE HIS WORD.
Some of the Lord's People go through difficult and dark times in their lives, having confidence that we belong to Him really helps them to come through the difficulties. This confidence develops through our relationship with Him.
The relationship with the Lord develops through our time spent deliberately with Him. This happens when we gather with other Believers in proper and real Fellowship, or when we spend quality time alone with Him having deliberate devotions (QT).
