All that man receives of God's bounty still belongs to God.
Whatever God has bestowed in the valuable and beautiful things of earth
is placed in the hands of men to test them--to sound the depths of their love for Him
and their appreciation of His favors.
Whether it be the treasures of wealth or of intellect,
they are to be laid, a willing offering, at the feet of Jesus;
the giver saying, meanwhile, with David,
"But who am I, and what is my
people,
that we should
be able to offer so
willingly after this sort?
for all things come of Thee,
and of Thine
own have we
given Thee."
I Chronicles 29:14
