A discussion of money

I like money.  It takes money to do anything these days.  It takes money to fuel the Gospel, not only in this country and in our churches here, but missions!!  It will buy gas for my suburban, food for our pantry, clothes, etc.  Money is my friend!!  Money likes me.   Money is finding its way to me!!  I like what Mike Murdock says:  "Anybody who says money can't make you happy - never had any!"  

People are going to use their money for what they want to use it for.  No matter what.  People will horde money and lose it.  The Bible says in Proverbs 11:24 - There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. 

A generous man will be enriched.  You can "give away" and grow richer!!  When you give, it refreshes others!!

I love Deuteronomy 28: 1-14.  It says "If thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God".  There's also a curse.  Deut. 28:15 - .  There's something about that obedience!

Deuteronomy 8:18 says it is HE that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy father, as it is this day.

Genesis 8:22 says While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Psalms 23 - The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

(Taylor)Because the Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need!!

(Mof)The Eternal shepherds me, and i lack for nothing.

(Basic)The Lord takes care of as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

(Norlie)The Lord shepherds me, I shall never be in need.

(Young)Jehovah is my shepherd, I do not lack.

(Knox)The Lord is my shepherd; how can I lack anything?

(Amp)I have everything I need.

Psalms 34:9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints:  for there is not want to them that fear him.

(Taylor) If you belong to the Lord, reverence him; for everyone who does this has everything he needs.

Psalm 34: 10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.

(Douay) they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.

(Amp)they who seek the Lord (by right of their need and on authority of His Word) none of them shall lack any beneficial thing.

Psalms 35:27 - Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause; yeah, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

(Mof) All hail to the Eternal, who loves to see his servant prospering!

Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

(Mor) Tis the Eternal's blessing that brings wealth, and never does it bring trouble as well.

(Knox) Of the Lord's gift comes wealth without drudgery.

Oh yeah - Proverbs 8:21 - That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

(GNB) giving wealth to those who love me, filling their houses with treasures

(Young) to cause my lovers to inherit substance...

(KNox) to enrich the souls that love me with abundant store..

(NEB) I endow with riches those who love me and I will fill their treasuries.

(Basic) So that i may give my lovers wealth for their heritage, making their storehouse full.

There are many, many scriptures that talk about money!  MOney is important!

Money may not can "buy" happiness, but it sure makes me happy!!
