Money can cause divisions in families, can
create bitterness and hatred, and can drive people to make decisions they will
regret. However, it can also be a blessing when given as a gift or offering and
can have lasting effects when used to make good decisions. For example, when a
person budgets and uses extra money each month to save toward either getting
rid of debt, investing in the future by making a big purchase like a house, or
giving toward a ministry or someone in need, the rewards can bring joy, peace,
and satisfaction for that person. God will bless the careful decisions of the
believer when they see money as something to invest towards the future and to
bless others. However, a person will only experience failure, harm, and a lack
of faith when he or she treats money as something to be hoarded or spent
without careful thought. God wants us to involve Him in our decision making
when it comes to money. He wants us to use money to invest in our future, the
futures of our children, and bless those around us.
We can have faith that when we make careful
decisions and trust God with our finances, He will protect us and bless us. He
alone is faithful and will lead and guide us in our decision making. It is
never too late to start with a clean slate and trust in Him with your money.
