“Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O Lord, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things.”1 Chronicles 29:11 NLT
In our ability to fly spaceships, solve medical problems, build tall buildings, and magnificent ships, we can tend to think we are gods. However, being god is expensive for us, whereas trusting God is not. He created all things through a word. We spend billions. People suffer in our endeavours.
Our true God does not rob the poor, abuse them or use them. He lifts them, heals them, blesses them when they come to Him for His answers. If all the money was removed how great would we be? Money is not the answer, Jesus is. He forgives our sins and heals us. Jesus taught us to pray: give us this day our daily bread… as we pray He provides.
The above scripture comes from David’s dedication and crowning of His Son Solomon and the collection of offerings for the building of the temple. David told the assembly of all he had given and asked them what they could do. They brought their gold and precious metals, and also 1000 bulls, 1000 male sheep and 1000 rams to sacrifice. The people matched David’s generosity.
However, the greatest gift was the hearts of the people, along with David they praised the Lord. ‘The Lord inhabits the praises of His people ‘(Paalm 22:3).
