It's All His (Psalm 24:1-2)

Today's scripture: Psalm 24:1-2

Our society really likes its stuff, doesn’t it? Grand houses. Fancy cars. Exotic vacations. And we take a lot time working to get our stuff.

The more, the better.

And we tend to hold on to our stuff very tightly.

We also take pride in what we can do—whether it’s our profession or our vocation.

As we work hard, get more and more, and do more and more, we forget something: None of our stuff is ours. None of our time is ours. None of our talents are ours. None of it. Everything we have, everything we are, is God’s. If He chooses to bless us, then we should be grateful. And we should manage His stuff—and ourselves—well.

We should take care of what He’s given us. We should share what He’s given us with others, whether it’s giving money or our time or our talents.

We should be willing to give it all back to Him, should He ask for it. We should hold onto things very loosely.

Because it’s all His anyway.
