The Owner of Everything
The Owner of Everything
Monday
The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein, for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.
— Psalm 24:1-2 (ESV)
— Psalm 24:1-2 (ESV)
Before we can talk about giving, we have to settle the question of ownership. Who owns the money in your account? Who owns the roof over your head? Who owns the very breath in your lungs? The answer of Scripture is unmistakable: God owns it all. You and I are not proprietors; we are stewards. We did not create the world, we did not earn our first heartbeat, and we will leave this life with empty hands just as we entered it. Everything in between is on loan from a generous Father.
This truth, when it sinks deep, changes everything. It changes how we work, how we save, how we spend, and certainly how we give. Giving is no longer about handing over what is "mine" to God—it is about returning to Him a portion of what has always been His.

Pray:
Father, help me to loosen my grip on what I have called mine and remember that You are the owner of all. Make me a faithful steward.
