Episode: To Whom Do You Belong? (Psalm 119:94)
Description: Even though we don’t like the idea of belonging to someone else, it’s simply a fact that everybody is the property of someone else, to one extent or another. (Think of how often you use “my” or “mine” in relation to those around you.) So when the psalmist says that we belong to God, the question is not whether that is morally right. The question is whether that is to our advantage and what kind of owner God is.Music Credit: Johann Sebastian Bach, Trio from Brandenburg Concerto, No. 1, Movement 4
