Scripture affirms that the earth and everything in it belong to the Lord, as stated in Exodus 9 and other passages.
The sovereignty of God is a central tenet of Reformed theology, and Scripture repeatedly emphasizes that everything belongs to Him. In Exodus 9:29, Moses reminds Pharaoh that the earth is the Lord's. This idea is reinforced throughout Scripture, such as in Psalm 24:1, which states, 'The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.' Understanding God's ownership of all creation reassures believers of His control and provision, regardless of worldly circumstances. Knowing that God is sovereign helps Christians to trust Him in all aspects of life, as He holds authority over all things.
