High on our priority list to find encouragement and perspective in times like these is to constantly regard our Lord’s ownership of everything He owns it all. We should always see ourselves as humble caretakers – stewards – of His property. Scripture repeatedly underscores God’s ownership of everything:
“To the Lord your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it” (Deuteronomy 10:14).“The land is mine and you are but aliens and my tenants” (Leviticus 25:23).
Our friend, historian Bill Federer, sent me his link to a YouTube presentation he made about the Interesting History of the Income Tax. It’s so good, I thought you’d like to hear it. So, I’m going to turn our attention today to Bill’s little talk.
