Why do we want so much control?

Psalm 24:1-6 (NIV)
1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
   
the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it on the seas
   
and established it on the waters.
3 Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?
   
Who may stand in his holy place?

4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
   
who does not trust in an idol
   
or swear by a false god.[a]
5 They will receive blessing from the Lord
   
and vindication from God their Savior.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
   
who seek your face, God of Jacob.

We often tend to overvalue or undervalue things when we don’t know who the owner is.

WE OVERVALUE WHAT HAVE

VS. 

WE DEVALUE WHAT HAS GIVEN US

How much ______________ do I have to invest?

What happens when we in Him?

What is God speaking as you abide in him?

PHYSICAL CAPITAL:
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV 
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

PHYSICAL CAPITAL:
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (MESSAGE)
Or didn’t you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don’t you see that you can’t live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body.

INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL:
Daniel 2:21 (ESV)
He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding;

FINANCIAL CAPITAL:
1 Chronicles 29:10-14 (NIV)
10…“Praise be to you, Lord,
    the God of our father Israel,
    from everlasting to everlasting.

11 Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power
    and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
    for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
    you are exalted as head over all.

12 Wealth and honor come from you;
    you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
    to exalt and give strength to all.

13 Now, our God, we give you thanks,
    and praise your glorious name.

14 “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.

How do we forget so ?

Deuteronomy 8:18-19 ESV
You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day. And if you forget the Lord your God and go after other gods and serve them and worship them, I solemnly warn you today that you shall surely perish.

Why do we give up so ?

Joshua 24:14-15 (NIV)
14 “Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. 15 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

As we look into year 8…

all yours!

all yours!
