Before anyone is too quick to dismiss the idea of money, there are over 3,500 verses in the Bible directly relatedto finance, being instructions how one shal best use wisely. Follow them, and you will find yourself with far more of ithan you could ever even use (toward your own family for several lifetimes.
It is also amusing how Yeshua sat next to the Temple treasury watching what was going on...or how He emptied it of those sacrafice merchants on more than one occaison...purging out the leaven STS.
MOSTLY, out from everything written concerning this issue about what you value, Jesus provides a key element in experiencing God's power present and active in our daily lives. In fact, it seems that every verse found about finance could branch out from this one thing.
READY?
First a disclaimer for the ones who thinks what is being shown does not work; because, it always has for me …that is, ever since being told to go pick off a slender long switch from the pussy willow tree, and was brought back behind the woodshed, where i recived a near instantaneous attitude adjustment from Yah concerning this very issue.
DISCLAIMER NOTICE
(for the naysayer)
“You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God."
Matthew 2.29
THE KEY PARABOLIC PRINCIPLE
Now He was also saying to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and this manager was reported to him as squandering his possessions. And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
The manager said to himself, ‘What will I do, since my master is pulling the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg. I know what I shall do, so that when I am removed from the management people will welcome me into their homes.’
And he called to meet each one of his master’s debtors, and he began saying to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ And he said, ‘A hundred measures of oil.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’ Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’
And his master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this age are more shrewd in relation to their own kind than the sons of light. And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the age enduring dwellings.
“He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true to you? And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these things and were scoffing at Him.
And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God. The Torah and the Prophets until John...since that time the gospel of the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it; but it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter of the Law to fail.
~ Luke 16.1-17 ~
What unchanging principle/Law is in effect?
If the above Remez out from the mouth of Yeshua doesn't open your eyes, mayhaps reading the life of Avraham Avinu could.
