RIGHT THINKING
It is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves.
Psalm 100:3
Get right in your thinking about yourself; then think of yourself in your relationship to God. And the moment you do so, you will realize that you are utterly dependent upon Him. "It is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves." Our times and our breath are in His hand. God brought us into being, and He could end it in a moment. We, none of us, control life; God controls it all. But men and women do not stop and think about that. They say, "What shall I put on tonight? How shall I dress tomorrow?" They may be dead before tomorrow! But they do not think of that. The whole of life, for them, is without God; He does not enter into their calculations.
That is why the world is as it is, says our Lord. If only all men and women believed in God, they would all humble themselves before Him. If only the whole world believed in God, there would be no preparation for war, there would be no jealousy and envy and rivalry, because all men and women would be bowing before Him and worshiping Him and living to His glory and His praise. But because they do not, they set themselves up as gods, and they worship themselves. So there are barriers between nations. "I am going to be bigger," says one; so he makes a bigger bomb. "I will make a bigger one!" says the other. And up and up and up we go, and we get worse. "Whence come wars and fightings among you. Come they not hence, even of your lusts...? Ye ask, and receive not," says the apostle James (James 4:1,3).
You will never satisfy your god, and so, according to the Bible, we get all the troubles in the world--individual troubles and collective troubles, national troubles and international troubles! All this rivalry is because we are not living as under the eye of an almighty God.
A Thought to Ponder
If only all men and women believed in God, they would all humble themselves before Him.
