David's Prayer and Perspective

So when have you prayed like this lately?
I came across these verses in a message I was listening to. David, the King of Israel, prayed this before a large crowd of people when he and the people had given literally billions of dollars to a fund to build a temple for God... a temple that would not be constructed for years to come... by David's son, Solomon. Most of the people, including David, would not live to see the construction even start, forget seeing the structure complete.
The part I like best is the perspective that David has and summarizes at the end.
"Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand."

Take some time to read and think... have you ever stopped and told God that all you have, not a portion or a percentage, but all belongs to Him.
Everything belongs to Him and my responsibility is to HONOR God will all that I have.

"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.

This is a good step and a source of peace as financial things unfold in our country.
