1 Chronicles 26-29; Psalm 127
“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." 1 Chronicles 29:14 David understood the source of his wealth. By the world's standards he had much to boast about. Between his generosity, and those of the people he led, it could easily be said that they had given sacrificially. Their generosity could be a source of pride. However, David keeps them humble by reminding them that whatever they gave was only that which God had given them. We sometimes get to feeling prideful about all we have amassed, without giving credit to our Lord who made it all possible. Without Him we are nothing more than the lowliest beggar.
