Soli Deo Gloria
He owns everything. It is all His. The Universe is God's and all that is in it. This computer belongs to Him for He created every atom with which it is composed. He owns every living thing and that includes me. He created me. I was created by God. "For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb" (Psalm 139:13). My arms were created by God. My fingers. My mouth. Eyes, mind, feet, skin, lungs. All are His. All are His and all are for His glory. The palm, birch, willow, cedar, fir and oak were all spoken into existence by God and created for His glory. "O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!" (Psalm 8:1)
He owns much more. His is the attention and eternal fixation of every beast, tree and man. All look to Him for their very survival and life.
"They all wait for You
To give them their food in due season,
You give to them, they gather it up;
You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.
You hide Your face, they are dismayedl
You take away their spirit, they expire
And return to dust.
You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;
And You renew the face of the ground." (Psalm 103:27-30)
Also, His will be the kingship. Although He is already king, there are still many who do not recognize Him as king. "'For from the rising of the sun even to its setting, My name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense is going to be offered to My name, and a grain offering that is pure; for My name will be great among the nations,' says the Lord of hosts." (Malachi 1:11)
His is all glory and He refuses to give even a drop of it up.
"For My own sake, for My own sake, I will act;
For how can My name be profaned?
And My glory I will not give to another." (Isaiah 48:11)
To Him rightly belongs the fear of every man, which will be rendered to Him, although it is presently refused Him. Every man's fear should be and will be directed towards God because of His wrath. His is all the wrath. As much as He has the power to create He also has the power to destroy. He said, referring to the flood, " For after seven more days I will blot out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made." (Genesis 7:4)
In Him alone is all salvation, from beginning to end. The very beginning of salvation is His, for He is the one who elects and no one can gain God's favor other than God choosing to bless him with unmerited, unconditional favor before the beginning of the world. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him." (Ephesians 1:3-4)
Only in God can one be forgiven of His wrongdoings. And this only through God's one propitiation for all sins, Jesus Christ. "In Him [Jesus], we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us." (Epesians 1:7)
The end is His. The end where all the world will see that He is the center of everything. Creator, Savior and King. No one has done anything for Him and no one has done anything to earn anything from Him. He is alone in the category of those who are worthy of attention and praise and worship. In the end it will all be "... to the praise of His glory" (Ephesians 1:14b)
