1 Chronicles 29:11–12 NASB95

11 “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all. 12 “Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone.

it all belongs to God, but God was sharing

Analogy

I borrow $1,000, and I have the money to pay you back, but I don’t

You let me use your car, and I won’t give it back
