If so, you will enjoy reading the following praise-filled passages from I Chronicles 29:9-17. You will find David offering them to the Lord at the comp-letion of the ingathering for building the Temple, and just prior to David's death.
12. Both riches and honor come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
When was the last time you were witness to this type of celebration over giving? If you have a hard time remembering when, take a few moments to study the passage; see what you come up with as to the "why" of such abundant joy. We will discuss this more next month. In the meantime, if you have insights into the "why," I would enjoy hearing from you.
