The ownership question

How much stuff do you 'own'?  I absolutely treasure MY stuff !!  I have several crafts that I derive so much pleasure from:  quilting, counted cross-stitch, beading, cooking, baking, decorating my home for Christmas, with MY stuff...!!  MY stuff....but then during my quiet time this morning reading in Psalms, 24 to be exact...it was brought to my attention that this "stuff" wasn't mine.  What?  I re-read the first verse and once again was humbled to the fact NOTHING is MINE........!! 

So, lets settle the ownership question once and for all...(although I seemed to need reminding more often), ....right there in black n white it states.....'the earth is the Lord's and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.'.....no exceptions made. 
God owns it all.    Simply stated:  I possess: God owns
                                                       I earn (a living):  God enables

That pretty much settles it!!
