FINANCES
Solomon taught his son about finances more than just about anything.
16 rich….17 riches….8 substance...13 gold……12 silver…..
37 poor…...8 increase…
Here are seven days worth of devotions for you to teach your children on finances. You will be glad you did.
Day 1 – Put God first with all you have.
Prov 3:9-10 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
Prov 13:7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
Day 2 – Wisdom is better than gold or silver
Prov 3:13-14 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
Prov 16:16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver
Day 3 – Instruction, knowledge and a good name is better than gold.
Prov 8:10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
Prov 8:19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
Prov 22:1-2 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
2 The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.
Day 4 – You will be poor if you are a slacker, or lazy.
Prov 10:4 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
Day 5 – If you trust in your riches then you will fall.
Prov 11:28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
Day 6 – Riches will not profit you in the end…only righteousness.
Prov 11:4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.
Day 7 – If we have mercy on the poor, then we will be happy.
Prov 14:21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.
Prov 14:31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
Prov 22:16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
