The earth is the LORDs, and all it contains, the world, and those who dwell in it. For He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the rivers. Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy place: He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood and has not sworn deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the LORD and righteousness from the God of His salvation.
We do not live on a meaningless planet. It was placed here by the caring heart of God and remains under the ownership and concern of God now and throughout eternity. He has given all men every opportunity to enjoy its blessings, but only for a time. In His time, He will remove from its place any who gave no regard to its Origin and Owner and it will be given to an elect group of people; those with clean hands and pure hearts. There are no two ways about this! It's His world and He will not give it up to sinful, deceitful, and ungrateful hearts. He knows those who are truely His and He sets them apart for blessing and justice. Ascend the hill of the LORD and stand in His holy place. It's worth the climb!
