The Lord your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands...if you obey the Lord your God and keep His commands and decrees...and turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. (Deuteronomy 30:9,10)
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in His commands. Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. (Psalm 112:1,3)
Humility and the fear of the Lord bring wealth. (Proverbs 22:4)
In these three scriptures are given the way to be better off financially; to receive the blessings of the Lord as it pertains to your wealth and prosperity. It simply tells us to obey the Lord's commands and to have reverence and fear of Him that deserves all glory and honor.
Sometimes this is hard to understand when it seems that the people who live in and of the world with no regards for God seem to have all the riches and fame. It makes you wonder if living as a Christian is worth it. Why am I struggling when sinners are having all the fun.
Financial prosperity often comes at a cost of a man’s soul. It is difficult to accumulate wealth and follow God at the same time. There have been, and still are, wealthy people who are living for God and use their wealth for the good of others. Such people are very rare because the effect of wealth is usually to corrupt the owner of it. Greed and self indulgence are frequent outcomes. That is why Jesus said that we could not serve two masters. We can either serve God, or we can serve mammon (material wealth), but not both.
Trust in the Lord and He will take care of all your needs and more. Trust!
Lord, I pray that everyone that reads this blog first trust in You, oh Lord, and that through this trust and honor to You receive all the blessings that can be bestowed upon them. I thank You in Jesus mighty Name... Amen.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matt 6:33 (KJV)
