Right use of money has two effects: It provides rewards of an eternal nature. It draws our affections into the kingdom of God.
“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
Here is an examples of how money can be used for righteous purposes that God
says are worthy of reward:
Using money to make friends for the future. In Luke 16, Jesus tells a parable quite different from all the others mentioned in the Gospels. A wealthy man discovers that his business manager has been mishandling his funds and promptly fires him, but before his termination becomes final, the steward devises a plan to insure his future. He contacts his employer’s creditors and writes off 20 to 50 percent of their debts. These people are now indebted to him. Later, when he is out of a job, they will be obligated to help him.
Even though what the business manager had done may have been dishonest, when they master found out he was so impressed with the manager’s cleverness that he commended him. Jesus is not teaching dishonestly here, but illustrating an important spiritual truth. He highlights the manager’s shrewdness in using economic resources for non-economic goals - using money to make friends for a later time.

22 But God was incensed that Balaam was going, and the angel of the Lord took his stand
on the path to oppose him. Balaam was riding his donkey, and his two servants were with
him. 23 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing on the path with a drawn sword
in his hand, she turned off the path and went into the field. So Balaam hit her to return her to
the path. 24 Then the angel of the Lord stood in a narrow passage between the vineyards,
with a stone wall on either side. 25 The donkey saw the angel of the Lord and pressed herself
against the wall, squeezing Balaam’s foot against it. So he hit her once again. 26 The angel of
the Lord went ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn to the right
or the left. 27 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, she crouched down under Balaam.
So he became furious and beat the donkey with his stick.
28 Then the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth, and she asked Balaam, “What have I done to you
that you have beaten me these three times?”
29 Balaam answered the donkey, “You made me look like a fool. If I had a sword in my hand,
I’d kill you now!”
30 But the donkey said, “Am I not the donkey you’ve ridden all your life until today? Have I ever
treated you this way before?” “No,” he replied.
31 Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the path
with a drawn sword in his hand. Balaam knelt low and bowed in worship on his face. 32 The
angel of the Lord asked him, “Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? Look, I
came out to oppose you, because I consider what you are doing to be evil. 33 The donkey saw
me and turned away from me these three times. If she had not turned away from me, I would
have killed you by now and let her live.”
34 Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, “I have sinned, for I did not know that you were standing
in the path to confront me. And now, if it is evil in your sight, I will go back.”
35 Then the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but you are to say only what
I tell you.” So Balaam went with Balak’s officials.
