109: Money Talk

109: Money Talk

Read: 1 Timothy 6:6-12

"Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God." -1 Timothy 6:17

Lord, sometimes money and finances are
overwhelming. It's hard to know what decisions
to make, so please lead me and give the wisdom
to use my finances in a way that pleases You.

Marilyn and Steven had been married just a few years, and money was tight. But as she looked at their threadbare bedspread, she wanted to replace it. So she decided she would buy a new one with a credit card-hoping to somehow find the money to pay it off.

Her devotional reading for the day surprised her when it pointed her to Proverbs 22:27, "If you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you" (niv). Marilyn decided not to go into debt for a new bedspread that day.

Decisions about the way we spend our money are a personal matter between us and the Lord and can be difficult to make. But God hasn't left us without help. He tells us: "Honor the Lord with your possessions" (Prov. 3:9), and "You cannot serve both God and Money" (Matt. 6:24 niv).

With such truths in mind, we look further in His Word for help to use money wisely. We find this: "Beware of covetousness" (Luke 12:15). Another says, "The borrower is servant to the lender" (Prov. 22:7). And in 1 Timothy we read, be "ready to give, willing to share" (6:18).

Money is a big issue. God, who provides for all our needs, can show us how to use it to bring Him honor.

Never let gold become your god.
