Deut 8:17 Beware lest you say in your heart, 'My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.' You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth…
· We can make the mistake to think that all that we have accomplished attests to our own worth and abilities.
· But here the Bible reminds us that it is rather a testimony of God's grace – that He blesses us in spite of our flaws and mistakes…
· On the cross He gives us the ultimate blessing in spite of our ultimate sin, so that He can build a Kingdom where He will never again be overlooked as the Giver of all Gifts.
Heavenly Father, please forgive us for thinking that our wealth is our own doing. Everything that we have or own is a gift from your hand – we praise you for it. Above all we praise you for the gift of Jesus Christ. You truly are generously gracious – help us to be like that as well. Amen
