Wealth 

 

"If you start thinking to yourselves, 'I did all this. And all by myself. I'm rich. It's all mine!'-well, think again. Remember that God, your God, gave you the strength to produce all this wealth so as to confirm the covenant that he promised to your ancestors-as it is today." Deuteronomy 8:17-18 (MSG)

 

Wealth, some diligently seek it and some fear it, and if you fall into either one of these categories, you probably don't understand wealth, at least not from a biblical perspective. Wealth shouldn't be feared nor should it be diligently sought. First, the Bible is clear, we are to fear NOTHING! "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." Second, the Bible is just as clear when it tells us to seek God and His Kingdom ABOVE ALL else. "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."

 

 

We find as we seek God above all else, He gives us the strength and power to create wealth. Wealth isn't evil, if it were God would not give us the ability to create it. The problem with wealth lies in the hearts of men and women. When we seek wealth and riches before God, we have a heart problem! God wants to be our FIRST love, and He is not willing to share that position! When we make God our first love and expanding His Kingdom our priority, God will open up new opportunities for us to gain wealth; wealth we can us to be a blessing to others! It's hard to be a blessing and expand the Kingdom if we're always broke! God is ready to bless His people, because He wants them to be a BLESSING! Don't fear wealth and don't seek it above God! Seek God and the expansion of His Kingdom, and God will give you the ability to gain wealth, and your heart will stay right with The Lord! Wealth is a good thing for the child of God and should be viewed that way, and indeed used that way! May you be BLESSED and WEALTHY, and may you live to be a BLESSING!!

 

"Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread. The godly always give generous loans to others, and their children are a blessing." Psalm 37:25-26 (NLT)
