1st Chronicles 29:13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. 14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.
Just for the record, God does not need a single dime from any person. The Lord has given to us the plan of returning tithes and offerings to help root out the inherently selfish nature in ourselves. He has also given us this plan so that we will not forget to acknowledge Him as the Great Benefactor to the human family. But as far as needing any money or anything from us, God does not.
In fact, the correct perspective to cultivate, as far as anything we have, is that it has been lent unto us by God. That Mercedes you are driving, that brand new BMW and that beautiful Tesla you have parked up in your garage, isn’t really yours; you have borrowed it from Christ, for a while.
Even if you’re finished paying for it, it still isn’t yours because all of the raw materials that went into the production of it, all belongs to God alone, as some across the U.S will soon find out. Not even your own body is yours. Everything and everyone on the earth belongs solely to God.
1st Corinthians 6: 19 What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God and you are not your own? 20 For you are bought with a price: therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
