Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all.
"The truth that ’everything’ we have ’comes from’ God is the foundation for the doctrine of stewardship. Its basis is this: since our property is his (Psalms 24:1), and since we hold it only temporarily and in trust (1 Chronicles 29:15-16), it should therefore be used for him (Luke 17:10 . . .)."
