1 Chronicles 29:10-15

10 David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying,
“Praise be to you, O Lord,
God of our father Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
11 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.
12 Wealth and honor come from you;
you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
to exalt and give strength to all.
13 Now, our God, we give you thanks,
and praise your glorious name.
14 “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. 15 We are aliens and strangers in your sight, as were all our forefathers. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.

God, everything comes from you. Every blessing, every lesson, every good thing comes from you and we thank you for it. Help us remember that. Help us to understand that our money is not ours nor is our time. Every dollar and minute spent is all possible because of your grace. Let all of our works bring you glory. Help us to gain the perspective that David had in verse 15 - we are pilgrims in this land and our time on earth is very short. Let us place our hope in things that have eternal value.
