“The rich rules over the poor,
and the borrower is the slave of the lender.”
Prov 22:7
Money is powerful. Government, politics, and social structure are formed by wealth. Ideally they are not, but in reality, they always are. As I reflect upon this, here are some resolutions that come to mind:
I determine to be free from the power of wealth.
I will never be bribed or bought.
I will not become stressed over low funds.
I will not become discontent with what I have, nor jealous of what someone else has.
I will work diligently to faithfully provide for the needs of my family.
I will pray about and trust the Lord with our needs.
I will keep carefully manage our money as a good steward of God’s resources.
I will not make moral decisions based on financial considerations.
I will not make ministry decisions based on financial considerations.
I will not foolishly spend nor will I selfishly hoard what I have.
I will use God’s blessings as an opportunity to minister to others.
I will never respect or despise a person based on their financial position.
Money is a means, never an end, and must always be a means for righteousness and love.
“Whoever oppresses a poor an insults his Maker,
but he who is generous to the needy honors him.”
Prov 14:31
