“Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.” 1 Chronicles 29:11 (ESV)
* The Tabernacle and Temples of Israel
The words of praise in this verse were spoken by David at the time that his son Solomon was installed as King of Israel. David had been collecting gifts to be used in the building of the temple of God in Jerusalem. Until that time, the Israel had been worshiping in the Tabernacle* – the tent used in their desert wanderings before entering the Promised Land. David wanted God to have the best in order to acknowledge the truths we read in our verse. That should be our desire too because we have the same God that David did. We should be ready to give Him our very best in everything we do. Let us remember everyday that all belongs to God. Everything in heaven and earth. What we have, has come from our God. When we give Him something we have or do something for Him we are expressing the truth of the promises David acknowledged about God.
