Financial Tips for 2009

Before I went to the Blogger website to sign in, I came across a certain news in Yahoo entitled "Financial Tips for 2009."

Suddenly, I thought of a verse that GOD has powerfully used in my life. The only secret I know when it comes to finances is...

Malachi 3:10
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.

Good finances go hand in hand with HARD WORK

Proverbs 14:23
All hard work brings a profit,
but mere talk leads only to poverty

Hard work should not come with LOVE OF MONEY

Ecclesiastes 5:10
Whoever loves money never has money enough;
whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income.
This too is meaningless.

1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Hebrews 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you."

In order to not love money, SHARE YOUR BLESSINGS

Romans 15:27
They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews' spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.

Proverbs 22:9
A generous man will himself be blessed,
for he shares his food with the poor.

Isaiah 58:6-8
6 "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?

7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe him,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness will go before you,
and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

To make it easy to share your blessings, DO NOT ENVY OTHERS

Proverbs 14:30
A heart at peace gives life to the body,
but envy rots the bones.

1 Corinthians 13:4
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

After receiving your blessings, then come THANKSGIVING

1 Timothy 4:4-5
For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

2 Corinthians 9:11
You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

2 Corinthians 4:15
All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.

1 Thessalonians 5:18
give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.



ABOVE ALL ELSE, LOVE GOD FIRST!

Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Mark 12:30
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
