Tag: What the Bible says about spending our money wisely

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-1-19

Malachi 3:10 (NKJV) 10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.

Is our money spent before we even cash our check? Are we just buying things on the spur of the moment, things that we don’t need? Are we dining out more then we dine at home?

Watching what we spend our money on and taking the time to invest it into a good place will help us to be the head and not the tail. God is willing to do His part, but are we willing to step up to the plate and do ours? He can only work with what we give Him.

Deuteronomy 28:13 (NKJV) 13 And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.

We may not even think about God when it comes to our money. We just keep on doing what we’ve always done and leave Him out of the equation. And we find ourselves constantly in the same boat; never ahead.

God wants to help us. He wants to open for us the windows of heaven and pour out blessings.

We challenge you today, if you are not already giving to God from your firstfruits, start by setting a date and begin to put Him first on your list of expenses. Watch how things begin to change for you.

We are not saying it will happen instantly. It may or may not. But, as you are faithful and obedient with your money, you will at some point begin to see His favor working in your life. You will notice at times looking at your situation and wondering how it ever worked out the way it did. Well, that’s God!

God is good. Invest in Him. He is trustworthy and a safe place to deposit into.

Luke 6:38 (NKJV) 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-28-16

Proverbs 21:5 (NKJV) 5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.

God wants us all to be diligent with our money.

Finances can be a tough thing to get a handle on for some people. Much of this depends on our upbringing. If we were raised in poverty, or we weren’t taught proper handling of our finances, we will most likely grow up with poor money handling skills.

Much of what we need to know is based on common sense principles. And God’s word is full of advice when it comes what to do, and what not to do with our money. One of those things is to count the cost before doing something that requires us to spend money.

Luke 14:28 (NKJV) 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it…

What does it mean to count the cost?

It means that we take the time to look at the numbers and figure out if we can really afford to buy that thing that we want so badly. It means that we don’t rush blindly into buying something, even if it seems like a small purchase or a great deal.

We need to seek God in many of the things we want to buy. Ask Him if He wants us to have it. Get in His word and see what He says about it. Sometimes the answer will be yes. Other times it will be a resounding no!

God wants us to enjoy ourselves. So He’s not against us buying things. But He wants us to make wise choices, so as not to put ourselves in a bind later on down the road because we spent too much money.

So let’s spend wisely and count the cost. If we do this, we’ll be well on our way to being better managers of the resources that God blesses us with.
