Prayerfully Re-Center Around God
1 Chronicles 29:10-20
But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.
~ King David
Pondering Point
I love the humble attitude, the spirit, and the amazing generosity of King David (and his people) in this account.
Read the entire chapter of 1 Chron. 29 – seriously. This one-time giving event went to the building and upkeep of the temple, but was still an investment in God and His people, His treasured possession. Let’s use David’s prayer to assess our attitude and spirit toward giving back to God.
Review the Week
Do you consider everything you currently have as coming from God? Do you seek to honor God through what you give? How so? (Think of church, non-profits, neighbors in need, family, etc.). Would you consider yourself a generous giver? Who might be watching your heart, actions and attitude toward giving?
Repent (if necessary)
... for losing sight of your resources as being given by God (and still are His). You might need to repent of being stingy with your God-given resources.
Return (as necessary)
Re-dedicate yourself – finances and assets – back to God. Ask for help to create a godly financial vision with your current resources as you live out life as a disciple of Jesus.
