Money, money, money!!! #7

The wise teachings of Proverbs always has something to teach us and it is no different with money. So let's look at them today and see what they tell us about money.





Proverbs 8:10

10 Receive my instruction, and not silver,

And knowledge rather than choice gold;



God's Word in to be desired more than money. Is this true in your life?





Proverbs 11:4

4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,

But righteousness delivers from death.



Money will not do us any good when death and judgement comes....but righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ is the only answer!





Proverbs 11:28



28 He who trusts in his riches will fall,

But the righteous will flourish like foliage.



Trust in your money instead of the Lord and see where it gets you.





Proverbs 13:7



7 There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing;

And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches.



Money may bring you temporary happiness in this life, but really in the end you have nothing. If you give everything to Jesus, than you are rich and it can never be taken away! Praise the Lord!





Proverbs 16:16



16 How much better to get wisdom than gold!

And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.



Wisdom and understanding of what God desires in a followers life are so much more valuable than money. When we learn this we have matured in our walk with the Lord.





Proverbs 22:1



22 A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,

Loving favor rather than silver and gold.



How many folks have let money ruin their reputation? How many folks chose money over love for others? Too many to count!



Once again we see today, the love of money can be our down fall. Be wise and chose the love of our Lord you will never regret it! Reread these proverbs and think about them in your own life and let the Holy Spirit freely speak to you. If changes are needed, make them today!
