Am I entitled to blessings?
This morning I woke up wondering if I have made the right decision when for every decision I made now it doesn't just affect me alone but to the ones that I love deeply.
Sometimes fear grips me...most times I am at a crossroad choosing between what I want to do and what is best for the all...
What happens when things doesn't go my way...I will began to lose focus and whine, and probably lose my faith...
But I failed to see that His Hands in all...
Today, I am reminded that all blessings are in fact borrowed...

As we bowed our heads over lunch, my
friend Jeff prayed: “Father, thank You for letting us breathe Your air
and eat Your food.” Jeff had just been through a difficult job loss, so
his heartfelt trust in God and recognition that everything belongs to
Him profoundly moved me. I found myself thinking: Do I honestly
understand that even the most basic, everyday things in my life are
really God’s, and He’s simply letting me use them?
When King David received offerings from the people of Israel for building the temple in Jerusalem, he prayed, “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.” Then he added, “All of it belongs to you” (1 Chronicles 29:14, 16).
Scripture tells us that even “the ability to produce wealth” and earn a living come from Him (Deuteronomy 8:18). Understanding that all we have is borrowed encourages us to loosen our grip on the stuff of this world and live with open hands and hearts—sharing freely because we’re deeply thankful for the kindnesses we receive daily.
God is a generous giver—so loving that He even gave up His Son “for us all” (Romans 8:32). Because we have been given so much, may we give Him our heartfelt thanks for blessings small and large.

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.
