1 Chronicles 14:2 says "And David knew that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and that his kingdom had been highly exalted for the sake of his people Israel."

At this point in his life David is King of one of the strongest armies in the region, he's rich beyond imagination, his family is growing, and everyone in the kingdom of Israel adores him. If that were most of us, we'd let all that go to our heads.

But David recognized that God had put him where he was, given him the position that he had, and provided him with all of those resources, not so he could use them on himself and live the good life, but so that he could make a difference in the lives of others.

He's the deal, the same is true for you and me. The resources we have, the relationships we have, the responsibilities we have, we have because God wants to use them to make a difference in someone else's life.

What is one thing that you're holding on to, that you need to let God use to make a difference in someone else's life?
