Weekly Bible Verse – God is the source of Wealth

March 8, 2010 · Filed Under Weekly Bible Verse · Comments 

I have riches and honor, as well as enduring wealth and justice.  My gifts are better than gold, even the purest gold, my wages better than sterling silver!  I walk in righteousness, in paths of justice.  Those who love me inherit wealth. I will fill their treasuries.  Proverbs 8:18-21 (NLT)

I spend a significant amount of time here discussing money, topics such as how to get it, how to keep it, how best to use it, and so on (this is a personal finance blog after all!).  This week’s Bible verse refocuses us on the true source of all of this wealth that I and so many other people devote countless hours to.

God possesses not only riches, but also honor, not only wealth, but also justice.  His gifts are ever better than the purest gold and sterling silver.  Personally, I like the sound of all of that.  So, let’s keep reading and see that “those who love” God will inherit this wealth from Him.  In fact, he will fill your treasuries.  Remember, God created and owns everything, if you decides to fill your treasuries, you won’t be able to contain all of His blessings!

Now maybe this isn’t specifically speaking of wealth as in money.  Certainly, you might read “enduring wealth” as not being money since wealth is so fleeting.  Whatever He is speaking of in this passage, however, it is good and I want some of it!  Enduring wealth, justice, and gifts that are better than gold – I would definitely love to inherit that (wouldn’t you?).  Whether this is a strictly monetary blessing or something different (better?), focus on God, love God, worship God, serve God so that you can inherit what He has in store for you.  And whether that is a big pile of money to use for His Kingdom or a contented spirit such that you are just completely satisfied and happy with your life, it will be enduring and it will be good!

God bless and have a great week…
