My Last Prayer

[S] 1 Chronicles 29:11-13 --
11 Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.  12 Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. 13 Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.

[O] This prayer comes from David near his death, after announcing his Solomon as the next king.  He has prepared a ton of materials enough for Solomon to build the temple and yet he gives all the glory to God here and that's really amazing.  I wonder how I would be after living my life to the full -- would I be so satisfied with my own achievements or would I be like David here to recognize the hand of God in and through my life and then to pass that on to my children's generation?

[A] Everything comes from God -- wealth and honor and he rules over all things.  This is a refreshing and powerful truth quenching my dried up soul especially as I struggle with a tough work situation.  I need not question but to acknowledge Him as my soul provider of all my needs.  I claim that my wealth (not that I need to be rich) and honor (from my workplace) come from You!

[P] Dear God, I honor You and You alone who owns everything in this world and in heaven.  You deserve my praise despite all my (unfavorable) circumstances.  Please take joy with my praising You in Your Son's name.  Amen.
