1Ch 29:14 | MHM | STEP | v. 14 : David spoke humbly about himself and the people. He asked, Who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly? (1 Chronicles 29:14 ). He remembered that life is short, like a shadow, and that everything they gave was actually from God in the first place (1 Chronicles 29:15-16 ). This teaches us not to be proud of our giving, because all we have comes from God.
