Learn More »Do you look to money to provide you with security, establish your independence, or equip you to exercise power and wield influence? Today, many people would identify these goals as appropriate purposes for money. However, a focus on temporal riches is dangerous, because it leads you to expect things from money that only God can provide. According to God’s Word, there are four fundamental purposes for money: to provide for basic needs, to confirm direction, to give to those in need, and to illustrate God’s power and care in provision. Understanding these purposes allows you to see how money relates to God’s work in your life and community.

If you don’t have the funds to do something, pray and seek God’s direction. If He is leading you, He will provide the needed funds. Wait for His provision, work hard, and trust that He will provide for whatever He is calling you to do. Build your faith and vision One aspect of faith is discerning what God wants to accomplish in and through your life. As you live according to the truth of Scripture, He will provide whatever is necessary to fulfill His purposes for your life. Presumption, which basically is deciding what you want to accomplish and trying to get God to do it for you, is the opposite of faith. Determine who is Lord of your life Is Jesus Christ the Lord of your life? His Lordship is affirmed when you are responsive and obedient to the promptings and limitations He places on your daily decisions. A person who has unlimited funds will find it more difficult to detect God’s leading through finances. Because of this, God gives special warnings to the rich: “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy” (I Timothy 6:17). Receive protection from harmful items When you can’t afford an item that is beyond the “basic need” category, sometimes it’s for your own good. Accept the fact that you can’t afford it. Consider why the purchase of it might not be beneficial in the long run. If, in fact, possession of it would be pleasing to God, ask Him to provide it as He deems best, for His glory and for your benefit. “With God, nothing shall be impossible” (Luke 1:37). Beware of the temptation of wanting more, more, more It seems that no matter how much God gives to us, we still want more. God gave Adam and Eve everything they needed to enjoy life, yet Satan tempted them to want even more, and they yielded to Satan’s temptation. How clear and true God’s warnings are on this point: “. . . They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition” (I Timothy 6:9). Learn patience Patience is an essential quality for maturity in life. In fact, patience is so important that God assures us that it is worth going through tribulations in order to obtain it. (See Romans 5:3.) Having to wait for God to provide funds is one valuable way to develop patience. “Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing” (James 1:3–4). Concentrate on true riches The Apostle Paul understood that temporal things tend to compete with eternal riches and obscure the knowledge of our priceless inheritance in Christ: “But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ” (Philippians 3:7–8).

Learn More »God often provides for His children through the generous gifts of others, especially fellow Christians. As you work diligently and make a living, consider the needs of others and generously give to help meet their needs as God directs you. Unite Christians In the early days of the Church, a severe famine caused much suffering for many Jewish Christians. The Apostle Paul urged Gentile churches to collect offerings, monetary gifts, for these Jewish Christians. These offerings helped tear down barriers between Christians and build bonds of genuine love: “. . . At this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want . . .” (II Corinthians 8:14). Become zealous for good works One mark of a true Christian is zeal for good works. This is one of the purposes for which Christ redeemed us: “[He] gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works” (Titus 2:14). A generous Christian is able to abound in good works: “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work” (II Corinthians 9:8). Initiate spontaneous thanksgiving God-directed gifts not only meet practical needs, but they also result in an overflowing tide of thanksgiving to God and to the giver. “Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God” (II Corinthians 9:11). Multiply the potential for giving God likens giving to planting a harvest. “. . . He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully” (II Corinthians 9:6).
