1 Chronicles 26:27 (NLT) These
men dedicated some of the plunder they had gained in battle to maintain the
house of the Lord.
Look at your life and consider all that you
have by the hand of the Lord. Do not think all you possess is only the result
of your determination and effort. Have I not given you the ability to think,
the strength to work, and the will to achieve? Remember me in your gifts and
offerings, generously and with joy.
“The
more God bestows upon us, the more he expects from us in works of piety and
charity. Great successes call for proportionable returns. When we look over our
estates we should consider, "Here are convenient things, rich things, it
may be, and fine things; but where are the dedicated things?' Men of war must
honor God with their spoils.”
--Matthew Henry
Father God, thank you for all you have given
to my family and me. You have exceeded our highest expectations. I love you and
count it a privilege to share what I have with others. Freely I have received,
freely I give.
