Then in their faith they are able to freely give in faith, in speech and in doing. We are rich in Christ Jesus and that we must freely share. As His people we must have the willingness to share so all the people will not have too much or too little. Since God blessed us we too need to be a blessing to others. As with the money part - what does my check book say about my Christian life. It will certainly show where my priorities lie. Help me each day Lord to have an attitude of gratitude with altitude. Help me this day to serve You with the resources You have so freely given. All that I am I owe to Thee, Thy wisdom, Lord, has fashioned me; I give my Maker thankful praise, Whose wondrous works my soul amaze. Ere into being I was brought, Thine eye did see, and in Thy thought My life in all its perfect plan Was ordered ere my days began. Thy thoughts, O God, how manifold, More precious unto me than gold! I muse on their infinity, Awaking I am still with Thee. The wicked Thou shalt surely slay, From me let sinners turn away; They speak against the Name divine, I count God’s enemies as mine. Search me, O God, my heart discern, Try me, my inmost thought to learn; And lead me, if in sin I stray, To choose the everlasting way.

Help me each day Lord to have an attitude of gratitude with altitude. Help me this day to serve You with the resources You have so freely given.

All that I am I owe to Thee,
Thy wisdom, Lord, has fashioned me;
I give my Maker thankful praise,
Whose wondrous works my soul amaze.
Ere into being I was brought,
Thine eye did see, and in Thy thought
My life in all its perfect plan
Was ordered ere my days began.

Thy thoughts, O God, how manifold,
More precious unto me than gold!
I muse on their infinity,
Awaking I am still with Thee.

The wicked Thou shalt surely slay,
From me let sinners turn away;
They speak against the Name divine,
I count God’s enemies as mine.

Search me, O God, my heart discern,
Try me, my inmost thought to learn;
And lead me, if in sin I stray,
To choose the everlasting way.
