It's All God's

I am reminded that everything that I have belongs to God - my finances, time, giftings, possessions. I've been thinking about the implications of this reminder. If God requests for ten percent of my salary to go back into church, then it shall be done because that is what God desires for His finances. I know that in the past, when I haven't had much, ten percent felt like a huge chunk. But then again, how many times have I spent money on things that don't have eternal value or were just for temporary satisfaction? It's the same in regards to my time. What is the ratio that I spend on mindless activities compared to activities that last for eternity? I am actually borrowing what is God's in order for "His kingdom to come, His will to be done, on earth as it is in heaven." In this I am comforted that if I need something or if I lose something that is of importance, that God has already got it covered. I am also constantly encouraged by Luke 16:10 - “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities."
