“IT ALL BELONGS TO GOD!”
Psalm 50:12
“If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world is Mine, and all its fullness.”
Last week I was having coffee with two friends when one told the story of a young boy who was on his way to Sunday School. His mother had given him a quarter to put in the offering and a quarter to buy candy. As boys will do, he began to play with the quarters when one slipped out of his hand and fell down a drain. He looked up and asked God to forgive him for losing God’s quarter.
Oh, wow! Is that revealing or not? It seems that we tend to separate what we consider our own apart from what belongs to God. In many cases God gets far less than we keep for our own satisfaction.
What truly belongs to God? Is ten percent His and the ninety percent ours? If we were to increase our giving to the Lord to fifty percent and keep fifty percent for our own, would that be enough giving.
When we come to the place in our life where we acknowledge that God owns all that we have or ever will have, blessing awaits us. Rather than telling God what we are going to give Him we need to ask Him what we are to do with what He has entrusted to us. That is when His bountiful spiritual blessings will flow.
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
