Honoring God With Our Substance
INTRO:
Almost weekly I receive information one way or another on how to get rich quick. You have too, I am
sure! The most prevailing lure is the one on television that says, “MAKE $5,000.00 RIGHT FROM
YOUR OWN HOUSE”. Wow! Have any of you ever checked into that? There are so many “get rich
quick” schemes out there that are nothing more than the secular way to appeal to the greed of the sinful
heart. And, because all of us have a sinful heart, some of those schemes may be tempting. But are they
biblical? Are they in accordance with the will of God? Do they represent the way God wants us to
increase in our wealth? THOSE ARE SOME CRUCIAL QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER! The point must
be made, however, that GOD’S WAY FOR US TO INCREASE IN OUR WEALTH IS NOT
THROUGH SOME SECULAR SCHEME. RATHER, IT IS THROUGH GIVING TO HIM AND
HIS WORK FIRST! That is emphasized numerous times in the Scriptures and our study in Proverbs is
right not leading us right into the midst of such a practical biblical principle. Let us never forget that
HONORING GOD WITH OUR SUBSTANCE WILL ALWAYS BRING GOD’S BLESSING IN AN
ABUNDANT FASHION INTO OUR LIVES!
