Psalm 50

We have commented many times as we drive down the road that something reminds us of Grandma. Grandma Campbell has been gone 8 years now and still something as simple as a cow makes us talk about her. I was reading in Psalms 50 the other day and here came Grandma and cows. One of her favorite songs was, "He owns the cattle on a thousand hills". Every time we would drive by a herd of cattle in the field or on a hill, Grandma would remind us of the song and begin singing. As I was reading Psalm 50 the verse came jumping out at me,
"for every animal in the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills." We drove a great many miles this weekend going to see Addlea in Chicago. We saw cows, horses, a few deer and lots of trees. We think we own things but they are God's. We think we have possession of something but it's only ours for temporary. Talk about leasing, God began the first lease program ever. Just use it for as long as you need and always remember, I own it, I gave it to you and I will take it back because you won't always need it. So when you look at the cattle, remember that God created, God cares for and God owns the cattle. If God takes the time to worry about them, how much more will God care for you?
