“地和地上所充满的，世界和住在世上的，都是属于耶和华的。”
诗篇 24:1
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;”
Psalm 24:1
When King David received offerings from the people of Israel for building the temple in Jerusalem, he prayed, “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.” Then he added, “All of it belongs to you” (1 Chronicles 29:14, 16).
Scripture tells us that even “the ability to produce wealth” and earn a living come from Him (Deuteronomy 8:18). Understanding that all we have is borrowed encourages us to loosen our grip on the stuff of this world and live with open hands and hearts—sharing freely because we’re deeply thankful for the kindnesses we receive daily.
God is a generous giver—so loving that He even gave up His Son “for us all” (Romans 8:32). Because we have been given so much, may we give Him our heartfelt thanks for blessings small and large.
What borrowed blessing can you thank God for today?
How does it help to know that every good gift is from Him?
Whatever is ours is God’s.
