Look around you! Take inventory of what you have and you will come to realize that the Lord of the universe has truly blessed you in so many ways. Think of how He has provided for you in every aspect of your life. How should you respond? Obviously, by saying, “Thank you, Father, for all that you have given to me!” Then, admit that none of it belongs to you. It’s all from Him…and it all belongs to Him…and we must use it all for His glory. We’re stewards…not possessors. Now that the inventory has been done, prayerfully determine how He would have you to invest what you have received from Him, for Him.

 

Ephesians 5:20 (KJV)

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

 

Proverbs 3:9 (NKJV)

Honor the Lord with your possessions.

 

2 Corinthians 9:8

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed.

 

“Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices,

Who wondrous things hath done, In whom His world rejoices;

Who, from our mothers’ arms, Hath blessed us on our way

With countless gifts of love, And still is ours today.” ~ Martin Rinkart

 

The Lord bless you and keep you…
