In presenting the offerings in preparation for temple building, David prayed:
But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.
And when Jesus told the parable of the Waiting Father (better known as the parable of the Prodigal Son), he put these words in the mouth of the father to his eldest:
Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
We can afford Kingdom extravagance because we have such a generous God and heavenly Father.
