1 Chronicles 29
1 Chronicles 29:5b-6 (NIV)
“Now, who is willing to consecrate
themselves to the Lord today?”
Then the leaders of families, the officers of tribes of Israel,
the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds,
and the officials in charge of the king’s work gave willingly.
1 Chronicles 29:10-15 (NIV)
“Praise be to you, Lord, the God of our father Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
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.
Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are the strength to all.
Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.
“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.
