If we were to follow verse fourteen (10-22), our families, churches, and nation would be turned around in terms of responsibility particularly in finances. If we acknowledge that we are stewards of God’s gracious gifts and what we give to Him is actually His to begin with, which is an act of mercy on His part, we would give freely as He has given freely.

Pray verses 10-22 in your own words.
David dies in 1 Chronicles; however, we will look back at his last days when we study the book of 1 Kings and the first anointing of Solomon as king. Long live the king.

This chapter emphasizes the act of giving and being generous. David and his people willingly gave up so many of their possessions for God. We are to do the same. None of our belongings actually belong to us in the first place. As stated in verses 11-12, everything is His. We need to acknowledge everything we have is from God. He gave us so much we don’t deserve, and though we can never truly repay Him, we need to show our thanks to Him by being generous and serving others.
