Proverbs 3:9-10
Honor the Lord With Your Wealth
Summary:
Did you know that everything you own is a gift from God? How do you think it might change our attitude toward our money and the things we own if we knew they were a gift from God? Today we're going to think about what it means to honor the Lord with our wealth (our money and our possessions). Let's think about it as we study Proverbs again:
Outline:
1. The command - honor the Lord with your wealth
2. The promise - overflowing blessing
Verse:
Proverbs 3:9 Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce...
Discussion questions:
1. Why do you think Solomon tells us to honor God with our wealth and firstfruits? Why two different categories?
2. As a believer in Christ, this command is not lessened, but heightened for us. So, how are you approaching your use of your wealth and resources? What would it look like to honor God with these things God has given you?
3. How should we interpret the promise of verse nine? Is God promising to make us wealthy if we keep the command of verse nine?
4. How does the generosity of God the Father, and the self-giving of Jesus help you think differently about how you use your resources?
