Don’t trust in your riches, but trust in God.
Read the following verses. Think
and pray about the verse that applies the most to your life.
Proverbs 11:28
Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive
like a green leaf.
1
Timothy 6:17
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor
to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their
hope in God.
John 14:1
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God.
Job 31:24-28
(Job said) “If I have put my trust in gold or said to pure gold, ‘You
are my security,’ if I have rejoiced over my great wealth, the fortune
my hands had gained…so that my heart was secretly enticed…then these
also would be sins to be judged, for I would have been unfaithful to God
on high.”
Psalm 49:6-12
(Sinners) trust in their wealth and boast of great riches. Yet they
cannot redeem themselves from death by paying a ransom to God.
Redemption does not come so easily, for no one can ever pay enough to
live forever and never see the grave. Those who are wise must finally
die, just like the foolish and senseless, leaving all their wealth
behind. The grave is their eternal home, where they will stay forever.
They may name their estates after themselves, but they leave their
wealth to others. They will not last long despite their riches—they will
die like the animals.
Are you rich? Did you realize that if you personally make more than
$1500 per year you are richer than 75% of the world’s 6+ billion people!

Firewood For A Church In Bulgaria
Years
ago, I was teaching a seminar in Europe on generosity. Nik, from
Bulgaria, said he learned for the first time that everyone is to give to
God from whatever they have. When he got home, a church group called him
and asked if he knew any rich people who could give money to their
church to buy firewood to keep their church building warm. Nik asked if
they had enough wood to keep their own houses warm and they said, “Yes.”
He told them that if God had blessed them with firewood, they should
bring some of the wood to the church. They said, “No, that’s our wood.”
Nik continued, “God has already blessed you with the wood you need for
your church and your homes. But you need to learn to faithfully give
from whatever God has given you!” Within a few weeks, the church
received a winter’s supply of wood from all the church members!
