Today’s Scripture

“God’s glory is all around me! His wrap-around presence is all I need, for the Lord is my Savior, my hero, and my life-giving strength. Join me, everyone! Trust only in God every moment! Tell him all your troubles and pour out your heart-longings to him. Believe me when I tell you, he will help you! Pause in his presence… Before God all the people of the earth, high or low, are like smoke that disappears, like a vapor that quickly vanishes away. Compared to God they’re nothing but vanity, nothing at all! The wealth of the world is nothing to God. So if your wealth increases, don’t be boastful or put your trust in your money. And don’t you think for a moment that you can get away with stealing by overcharging others just to get more for yourself! God said to me once and for all, ‘All the strength and power you need flows from me!’ And again I heard it clearly said, ‘All the love you need is found in me!’ And it’s true that you repay people for what they do.”

Psalm 62:7–12

Today’s Thought

It is easier to have no wealth at all than to have it and lack the ability to give it away. Money isn’t bad — it simply reveals the true motives of your heart. Break its pull over you through the force of generosity.

Today’s Confession

Father, thank You for prospering me and guiding me. Help me see how You want me to use what I have to bless others. Money has no power over me — it is a tool for the Kingdom of God.
