Embracing Divine Ownership

Nov 18, 2025    Pastor Valerie Hooper

Reading: 1 Chronicles 29:10-16; James 1:17


Devotional: "It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves." This truth dismantles every myth of self-sufficiency. Everything you have—your breath, abilities, opportunities, and achievements—comes from God's hand. King David, at the height of his wealth and power, prayed, "All things come from You, and of Your own we have given You." We are not owners but stewards. The signature of the Creator is written on your soul, giving you worth and identity.


Today, inventory your blessings and trace each one back to its Source. Recognize that your talents are gifts, your successes are graced, and your resources are entrusted. Humility doesn't diminish you; it positions you rightly as God's workmanship. Let go of pride's grip and embrace the freedom of knowing you belong to the Master Artist.
