Know That the LORD He Is God!

Psalm 100:3 (NKJV) ³“Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.”

“Know that the LORD, He is God”.  To Know – we need to possess the information that He is the LORD.   We need to live our lives with the awareness that He is Jehovah, the “I AM that I AM”, the Covenant God of Israel.  He is the “God” of Genesis 1:1 that was there “In the beginning.”    He is the ever existent, all-powerful one, the true God.

 “He has made us.”  As the Sovereign Creator God made us and therefore owns us.  “We are His.”  By right His creation of all means that all belongs to Him.   One goal of the secular humanist is to take away the accountability to God.  When man has Creator and no source he has no accountability and therefore can act as he wishes. 

“We are His people and the Sheep of His pastures.”  God’s sovereign reign is over all mankind.  As His image bearers, all we do should reflect upon Him in a good state; it should bring glory to Him.

As the “sheep of his pasture” – we dwell in God’s Earth.  It is not our own to destroy nor is it ours to worship. We are to live responsively, using the natural resources God provided for us.  He gave us this world and provided us with all we need to survive and even thrive just as a loving shepherd provides for His sheep.

There are those who think that they make god or who in action and attitude make their own gods.  They do not serve the God of the universe; therefore, they do not serve Him thankfully or come before Him because they do not have access to Him.

When we as a sheep learn to follow God trusting Him as the Shepherd we can know that we are pleasing Him as we live lives of obedience. 

This life of submission requires us to realize that indeed God is the creator, the LORD of all.  We must recognize that God loved us enough to send His son “to give his life for the sheep” (John 10:11).  This life cannot be lived until I confess that I am a sinner, that I have broken the law of the Holy God of the universe, and that we must ask forgiveness believing that Christ’s blood is the only thing sufficient to cleanse my sin.  This every individual must do himself.

My desire is that you truly come to “know that the LORD, He is God” and live a life submitted to Him.
