Money and WealthSample

Enjoy your wealth as a gift of God.

God is the Creator of the universe, and everything ultimately belongs to Him. He rules the earth. This truth is expressed in 1 Chronicles 29:12 “Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all.”

We have the responsibility to provide for ourselves and our relatives if we can, by doing our daily work. We should not sit back and wait till God makes us rich. But, “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain” (Psalm 127:1). We are dependent on God’s blessing. And if we have received wealth and possessions, we are encouraged to enjoy them with a thankful heart. Being aware that our wealth is a gift of God, protects us against pride and arrogance.

Can you list three things God has given you?
