God gave you...

God gave you his wallet. He gave you all the cards, and all the pin numbers... and He said, "Here, I want you to have these. You need this to live. I want to take care of you and provide for you... But I want you to do some other things. I want you to give it away. Not all of it, but I want you to share... Use it to provide and care for people in need. Share it with me to further my kingdom around the world. I want you learn to share. You have been given in abundance so you can share what you have been given." -M. Dirks, from his message today at Mosaic

"Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O Lord, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things. Wealth and honor come from you alone, for you rule over everything. Power and might are in your hand, and at your discretion people are made great and given strength. “O our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name! But who am I, and who are my people, that we could give anything to you? Everything we have has come from you, and we give you only what you first gave us! We are here for only a moment, visitors and strangers in the land as our ancestors were before us. Our days on earth are like a passing shadow, gone so soon without a trace." 1 Chronicles 29: 11-15

everyone on earth

“You faithfully answer our prayers
with awesome deeds,
O God our Savior.
You are the hope of everyone on earth...”
Psalm 65:5
