Use of Worldly Wealth

Our use of material possessions and our being blessed by God is for the benefit of others. Like money, our possessions are an indicator or test of our relationship to the Lord. We must learn to handle money and possessions carefully and wisely so that we are not in a place where we desire them over the love of the Lord and our relationship with Him. With rulership remember we own nothing - it all belongs to God! It is stewardship God is rendering to us and in our stewardship we are to be responsible for God's stuff! Free your heart from possessing money and things and seeking security in these things. These are imposters' not true riches! As you are blessed and highly favored of the Lord your God, take what material wealth and the riches He bestows upon you and use them for the kingdom and not for personal gain. There are eternal rewards when your resources are used to bring glory to God.

Luke 16:13; Psalm 122:9
