1 Chronicles 29:14
“But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.”
David stands amazed that he can even give to God. He realizes something we often forget. We are not owners. We are caretakers. Look at the words, “Everything comes from you.” That changes how we see what we hold.
I knew a couple who chose to give away their furniture instead of selling it. They understood something simple. Giving is not losing. It is sharing what God already provided. When we remember the Source, pride disappears and gratitude grows. Generosity begins when we stop asking, “What is mine?” and start asking, “Who needs what God trusted me with?”
I’m Lonnie Davis and these are thoughts worth thinking.
Suggested Prayer:
Father, help me remember everything I have comes from You.
