"When the Most High assigned lands to the nations, when he divided up the human race, he established the boundaries of the peoples according to the number in his heavenly court. For the people of Israel belong to the Lord; Jacob is his special possession." These verses are part of a song that Moses composed under divine inspiration as a witness to God's covenant with Israel (see 31:19-22). Presumably, the people of Israel would sing the song as part of a regular covenant-renewal ceremony to remind themselves of the covenant’s judgments and promises (see 31:21). These verses describe God's sovereignty over His created order. We, like the ancient Israelites, need to be constantly reminded that God is in charge. Ultimate control and supreme authority over the universe emanate from the throneroom of God, the unseen Kingdom of Heaven where God resides and rules over the universe. The events of this world--and your life--are decreed, ordered, and managed from heaven. So you need to remember that you belong to God; He has plans and purposes for your life. Therefore, all you do in life should be directed toward fulfilling His life plan for you. Live your life in this world as if it was preparation for an eternity in fellowship with God, because it is!
