Its mine! I worked for IT!
Greetings! 1Chron 29:11 Yours, O Lord is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O Lord is the kingdom;you are exalted as head over all. Now I don't have much as far as riches or possessions. But I worked hard for it all! Don't you feel that way? That is the misconception we all have at one point or another. But that is something we must all realize,just as David did in his prayer. We own NOTHING! This is all Gods! Paul reminds us again in Coloss 1:16 that, All things were created through Him and for Him. Sure we all go to work each day to earn a paycheck so we can pay our bills,and buy the things WE want in life.But do we thank God for that job? And the things we buy with His money that He blessed us with.Are we using it wisely? Are we using it to glorify God? Or spending it on our own earthly pleasures. You see everything we have is Gods.He is just letting us borrow it. Even our body's are not ours, and I can see that we don't even recognize that by the way we treat them sometimes. (me included) For Paul tells us in 1Cor 6:19-20 Even our bodies do not belong to us; Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, temple of the Holy Spirit.... and you are not your own? For you were bought with a price. God sent His Son to pay the price for us. So we could be reconciled to Him! He owns us,He made us. He owns everything in the world,cause He made it.So today as you are going to work, or if you have a day off cause of the snow,let us remember who gives us all these things. God,who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment 1Tim 6:17. So today give Thanks to God for all you have! Or what you don't have! Because it all belongs to Him.You belong to Him.So work hard today! Cause it's for Him. HABD!
