You cannot serve God “and” money
but you must learn to serve God “with” money.
Read the following verses. Think
and pray about the verse that applies the most to your life.
Luke 16:11-13
(Jesus said) “So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly
wealth, who will trust you with true riches?…No servant can serve two
masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be
devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and
Money.”
Proverbs 10:16
The good man’s earnings advance the cause of righteousness. The evil man
squanders his on sin.
Matthew 6:19-21
(Jesus said) “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where
moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store
up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not
destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your
treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Proverbs 16:16
How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather
than silver!
Proverbs 17:16
Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no desire to
get wisdom?
1 Corinthians 4:2
It is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
The world asks: “What does a person
own?”
God asks, “How is the person using what
they have been given?”
A Christian is one who does not have to
consult his bank book
to see how wealthy he really is.

The Cinderella winter boots
When I
was in my 20s, I quit my executive job and joined the missionary staff
of a Christian camp in northern Wisconsin. My salary was decreased by
90% but I had great joy in serving the LORD. When winter hit and the
snow started to accumulate, I realized I only had city shoes and no warm
boots. One morning, I prayed and asked God to send me money so I could
buy winter boots. When I checked my mail, I received 3 letters from
friends but there was no money in the envelopes. I was a bit
discouraged; but then my friend, Larry, came into the camp office
carrying a pair of boots and he wondered if anyone needed some warm
boots. I told him I did and when I tried them on, I felt like Cinderella
because they were my exact size! That day, I learned that God’s
provisions were bigger than money.
