God is our landlord. Everything we have, everything we use, everything we wear, eat and consume, belongs to God. We are just renting the space and all our stuff from God while we are here on this world. Psalm 24-1 says it all:
"The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him."
We pay our rent by loving God and loving all others. Our investment is worship and discipleship. But because He is our landlord, anytime something breaks or perhaps is just not working as well as it should, He will fix it for us! All we have to do is to call upon Him to take care of our problems and He will take care of them. Of course, true to a typical landlord's prerogative (read the fine print in the contract), God controls the repair schedule and decides when and how our dilemmas get resolved. But what is really great about our lease with this one landlord - once our current contract is over, He is going to move us to a mansion where God is now preparing a room for us! John 14-2:
In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.
