“The depths of the earth are in his hand, and the mountain peaks are his.  The sea is his; he made it.  His hand formed the dry land.”  Psalm 95:4-5

O God, You alone are God and all that exists in this world is yours.  The depths of the earth, the mountain heights, the seas and oceans, along with all the land.  It’s easy for me to believe and rejoice in your created works and be glad that it is yours.  But I often forget that the little stuff is yours too.  That every penny in my bank account and every cent that is included in my paycheck is yours too.  That every item in my closet and every tool in my garage is yours.  Every moment of each day is yours.  All that I call “mine” is really yours.  It is your time, a gift that you give me to serve you and others.  It is all your money and your budget, a gift that you give me to serve you and others.  It is all your money and your budget, a gift that you give me to manage to seek first your kingdom.  They are your possessions, a gift to me to be used to serve the world.  All that I am and all that I have is yours.  Help to me worship and honor you with all that I am and all that I have today.  Amen.
