Money is easy to trust and easy to worship. In other words, money can take the place of God. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:21). God cares about money because it can alter our affections and our love for Him.

God blesses those who make money through honest work rather than sinful practices. God calls us to pay back what we owe and help those who have helped us. It's wise for us to plan, think through how we'll make money, and spend money. Saving money can help set us up for future financial success.

Jesus willed and provided for people's physical needs – sometimes in abundance (Matthew 14:20). Wealth can indeed signify a blessing. When we talk about wealth as a sign of God's blessing, we must first consider God's character as it is revealed in scripture.

What verses about honoring God with your money? ›

“Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine” (Proverbs 3:9, 10, NIV).

'Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. '' 'Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it. '

You are the God who provides all my needs according to your riches in Glory. I come to You as I am struggling financially, asking for your provision. Remove my fear, doubt, and unbelief. Fill me with Your peace and confidence in the promise of your care for me in time of need.

Matthew 19:23-26 King James Version (KJV)
