What you treasure will shape your heart, so let Jesus be your master and money your servant.
Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. — Matthew 6:19-20 NLT
Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. — Matthew 6:21 NLT
Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is! — Matthew 6:22-23 NLT
The leech has two daughters. ‘Give! Give!’ they cry… — Proverbs 30:15a NIV
No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money. — Matthew 6:24 NLT
Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. v. 21
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. — Proverbs 3:5–6 NLT
The wise have wealth and luxury, but fools spend whatever they get. — Proverbs 21:20
Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it. — Proverbs 13:11 ESV
Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. — Proverbs 11:24–25 NLT
What you treasure will shape your heart, so let Jesus be your master and money your servant.
