Reading - Psalm 100-102
Reflection Text - Psalm 100
Who/What you belong to often determines your life's trajectory.
If you belong to a family like the Kennedy's, your life will begin at certain economic place with certain expectations.
If you belong to a family from the projects, your life will begin at other certain economic places with different expectations.
In verse 3 of this song, the poet says, "It is God that made us, and we are his."
We are not on our own.
We do not belong to ourselves.
We have a Creator, an owner, a jealous Lover that desperately wants to redeem us.
We might say, we were born into God's grace, with God's best being a starting place and God's faithfulness to help get us to any expectation that comes.
What does it mean to you that you BELONG to God? How could that change...
...how you see yourself?
...how you make decisions?
...how you determine your priorities?
