WISDOM FROM PROVERBS ON

MONEY

God owns everything

Deuteronomy 10:14 NIV

To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it.

Everything comes from the Lord

Deuteronomy 8:17-18 NIV You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.
