(Floridacast) All That We Have Comes From God (Habakkuk 2:6; Luke 16:10) (Repentance)
The words above come from a traditional worship song sung as our response after the offering was received. The congregation would rise after the offering and sing it. I have changed the word “alone” to “A LOAN.” My friend, John, who came to Mount Carmel every Sunday for worship taught me this way of understanding the meaning of this song. Everything belongs to God. As the text from Habakkuk declares, all we have is a gift given to us. It is a LOAN or a TRUST. But how do we treat the things we have been given? We need a spirit of repentance to consider again that everything we have comes from our God. How do we return to God what is His? And then we remember that our God is the One who lavishes upon us all He has to give. We can’t out give God!
