“Six Pence None the Richer” is a band that performed on the Late Show with David Letterman. After they sang, Letterman asked the lead singer, Leigh Nash, where the group got its name. Nash replied that it came from C. S. Lewis’ story of a father giving his son sixpence (that’s six pennies) to buy a gift for the father. The father was none the richer when he received the present, because he originally gave the sixpence to his son. The analogy is to God who gives us gifts that we are to use to glorify him. But God’s not richer because of our presentations, since he originally gave the gift.
Letterman said, “That’s a beautiful story. If people could actually live by that sort of thing, our world would be a better place.”
Letterman was right. The world would be a better place if everyone realized that all that we have comes from God.
