Understand riches can deceive you.
Read
the following verses. Think and pray about the verse that applies
the most to your life.
Revelation 3:17
“You say, ‘I am rich, with everything I want; I don’t need a thing!’
And you don’t realize that spiritually you are wretched and miserable
and poor and blind and naked.
Mark 8:36
What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his
soul?
Mark 4:18-19
Others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of
this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things
come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.
Luke 12:15
(Jesus said) “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a
man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
Proverbs 23:4-5
Don’t weary yourself trying to get rich. Why waste your time? Riches
can disappear as though they had the wings of a bird!
Ecclesiastes 5:11
The more you have, the more you spend, right up to the limits of your
income. So what is the advantage of wealth-- except perhaps to watch it
as it runs through your fingers!
1
Timothy 6:10
The love of money is the first step toward all kinds of sin. Some
people have even turned away from God because of their love for it, and
as a result have pierced themselves with many sorrows.
Galatians 6:7
If (a person) sows to please his own wrong desires, he will be planting
seeds of evil and he will surely reap a harvest of spiritual decay and
death.
The poorest man in the world is the man who has nothing but money.

Trusting God With A $20 Bill
I became
a Christian while in college and began to attend church with my
Christian friend who helped lead me to the Lord. One Sunday morning,
during the offering, I looked in my wallet and was shocked to discover I
only had some $20 bills. Before I was a Christian, I'd maybe put in a
few coins or a dollar in the plate, but to give a $20 bill felt like an
impossible task. But then I thought, If I don’t put something in the
plate, my friend will probably think I really didn’t become a Christian.
And, I actually thought, I wonder if I could put $20 in the plate and
take out change! I then sensed the Lord speaking to my heart to trust
Him, and give one of the $20 bills. If I had trusted Him to forgive my
sins, couldn’t I also trust Him with my finances? I decided I could
trust Him and I put $20 in the plate that day.
