I Chronicles 26:20-29:30
For all things come from You, and of Your own have we given You.
I Chronicles 29:14b
This verse is often quoted in church before taking up the offering. Now you know where it comes from. I expect that we can all see the truth of this prayer of David. Given that God is the Creator, what do we have that we can possibly claim as our own? And what can we give to God that He did not give to us to begin with?
And yet…
Do we live (and give) as though we truly believe it? Really?
