All that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine. . . Both riches and honour come of thee. –1 Chronicles 29:11,12
David praised the Lord in front of all the people who were gathered. He said: “We praise you, Lord, God of our father Israel. We praise you forever and ever. Lord, you are great and powerful. You have glory, victory, and honor. Everything in heaven and on earth belongs to you. The kingdom belongs to you, Lord; you are ruler over everything. RICHES AND HONOR COME FROM YOU. You rule everything. You have power and strength to make anyone great and strong. Now, our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name. These things did not really come from me and my people. Everything comes from you; we have given you back what you gave us.” I Chronicles 29:10-14 NCV
What this means to me?
This is a simple reminder that everything we have actually came from God. “All that is in heaven and in the earth” belong to God. Paul tells us that, “My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). It is not according to the size of our need, but according to His riches, God will meet our needs.
We could use David’s prayer to talk to God about who He really is. And then ask Him for guidance and wisdom how to handle our checking account and allow Him to bless us financially. God really wants to help us. God is generous and enjoys giving to all of us. This will make you feel so good just to know how much God want to do this with you.
