Isaiah 43:1,7,15,21
1 But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel:
“ Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name;
You are Mine.
7 Everyone who is called by My name,
Whom I have created for My glory;
I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One,
The Creator of Israel, your King.”
21 This people I have formed for Myself;
They shall declare My praise.
We were made for the glory of God; HIS glory, not our own. Most of the time, if someone lends us their car, we do our best not to get a ticket or wreck it even moreso than if we're driving our own car. Then we try to return their car in the same or better shape than when they gave it to us. God has given us our bodies, our gifts and talents, our relationships, and our responsibilities to all of these. And He did not give us more responsibility than we can bear, so we gotta be responsible in what He has given so that we can return it back to Him for His glory in better shape than when He gave it according to the parable of the servants and the talents the Master gave them.
