There is no portion of our time that is not God's time; there us no portion of money that is our money, and the rest God's money. It is all His; He made it all, gives it all, and He has simply trusted it to us for His service. A servant has two purses, the master's and his own, but we have only one. ---- Adolphe Monod.
Everything is from You, and we have given You only what comes from Your hand (I Chronicles 29:14).
One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money (Luke 1610-13).
A hymn to read, sing, play, hum, or whistle, to the glory of God: All Things Are Thine (John G. Whittier, 1872).
