Over The Shoulder

If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for all the world is Mine and everything in it. Psalm 50:12

Self-sufficiency needs nothing. Dependant man knows not this need, for it is a not need and the only influence no one can give is to God. This is the only homology He does not want us to be! Addressing our needs could not be any clearer. We need help gathering our food, collecting our emotions, and sustaining our very vigor. At a lost even, we need saving and so rescue becomes the prime endeavor towards any bene-faction we could ever give. The sacrifice in meat and bird, field or flower is countless to the One who holds them all. The wanted sacrifice is the rescue; His rescue of you, when you call in your days of trouble, for “I will rescue you and you will give Me glory” (verse 15). Making the call ushers in thanks then. The power and accord addressed in being rescued causes the rescue-ee to give thanks. Now thanks is a whole other sacrifice that gets the attention of the rescuer because that thanks burns revelation.

Verse 23 – But giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors Me. If you keep to My path, I will reveal to you the salvation of God.

All of heaven and earth audiences the revelation of the salvation of God; for the Mighty One Himself summons their attention (verse 4). Those once made sacrifices become insufficient, yet through the All sufficient One, speak in glorious magnitude towards reliance of hope and freedom, which is what having the need for Christ is. He is the once-for-all sacrifice that now makes us right with the Owner of all the mountains and all the earth, tearing apart self worth and the sacrificial system of old, to impart the new stance of not ever having to be hungry again and that you tell to the whole world. Yes and Amen!
