When we engage in business and when we invest, we’re called on to be faithful and to deal justly. Invest ethically, and in a way that doesn’t harm others.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.
Proverbs 13:11 Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow.
Proverbs 28:20 A faithful man will abound with blessings, but he who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished.
Proverbs16:8 Better is a little with righteousness than vast revenues without justice.
Leviticus 19:13 You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of a hired man are not to remain with you all night until morning.
Psalm 112:5 It is well with the man who deals generously and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice.
Proverbs 22:16 He who oppresses the poor to make more for himself or who gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.
Luke 16:10 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.
Get Good Advice, Plan Ahead, Save, Diversify And Be Faithful
Here are a few of the things I learned from the verses in this article:
..if riches increase, do not set your heart on them Psalm 62:10
Get advice from others who know more than you.
Only a fool doesn’t plan ahead.
It’s good to save, invest and multiply your holdings.
Don’t forget to have diverse holdings in order to reduce risk.
Invest in a way that’s faithful to God’s word, and that doesn’t harm others.
Don’t rely on money, rely on God.
It’s good to plan ahead and to provide for your family, but don’t allow money to become your ultimate goal. Instead, set your sights on Christ and his example.
He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf. Proverbs 11:28
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
