3 Biblical Truths About Money (That Most Christians Miss)Smakprov

Day 2 - Money is a tool to build the Kingdom While yesterday we discussed how money isn’t inherently evil, today let’s reflect on how money can be a tool to build the Kingdom. Joseph of Arimathea was a wealthy man and a respected member of the Jewish Sanhedrin, who became a follower of Jesus Christ. He used his resources for God's glory in a significant way when Jesus was crucified. Joseph courageously went to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, and requested permission to take Jesus' body for burial. He then provided his own tomb, which had never been used before, as the burial place for Jesus (Matthew 27:57-60, Mark 15:43-46, Luke 23:50-53, John 19:38-42). His act of generosity and devotion demonstrated his commitment to Jesus and the proper use of his wealth for God's purposes. Think about practical ways you can use your wealth for good, such as supporting your local church, other ministries, and giving to the needs of those around you. Remember the principle found in Proverbs 3:9, which encourages us to honor God with our wealth. As you go about your week, seek God's guidance in how to better use your resources as a tool to build His Kingdom. Let’s pray: Heavenly Father, thank You for the resources You've given me. Teach me to be a good steward of these gifts and to use them for Your glory. Show me how I can use my wealth (whether a lot or a little) to benefit others and expand Your kingdom. Amen.
