**Interviewer**: Thank you for joining us today. As the author of 1 Chronicles, could you share with us a profound insight from your work specifically related to your thoughts in Chapter 29, verse 11?
**Author**: Absolutely, I’m glad to be here. In 1 Chronicles 29:11, I express a deep understanding of God’s ultimate sovereignty. I write, “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.”
**Interviewer**: That sounds powerful. What prompted you to convey such a reverence for God’s greatness in that verse?
**Author**: Well, it was a moment of realization amidst the preparations for the temple. As King David gathered resources, it became clear that everything we have comes from God. I wanted to highlight that all our accomplishments and possessions are, in essence, His gifts.
**Interviewer**: So, you’re emphasizing the idea of stewardship, then?
**Author**: Exactly. We are merely custodians of what already belongs to Him. This acknowledgment not only inspires humility but also inspires us to honor Him in our actions and decisions.
**Interviewer**: That is insightful. You also mention God’s power and glory. How do you see that reflected in the lives of your contemporaries?
**Author**: It’s evident in every individual’s experiences. When we face challenges, recognizing His glory and power can transform our perspective. It encourages faith, and we can find strength in that acknowledgment. This verse serves as a reminder that our efforts should be directed towards glorifying Him.
**Interviewer**: It sounds like a call to worship and recognize our place in the grand design.
**Author**: Yes, exactly. It’s about aligning ourselves with the divine order and living in a way that reflects gratitude for His abundance. It’s where true wisdom begins.
**Interviewer**: Thank you for sharing that perspective. It truly helps us understand the depth of your writing in 1 Chronicles.
**Author**: Thank you for having me! It’s a privilege to share these thoughts.
