“Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce.”
Proverbs 3:9 NLT
Most of us associate this verse with money but if we do, we are missing the greater portion of the this instruction and a major portion of God’s blessing. God’s blessings encompass so much more than wealth. How about being blessed by loving relationships, having time to good works, talents to accomplish tasks that produce great fruit in our lives! Money is a great tool but a very poor master.
The verse says to honor the Lord with the best part of everything you produce. That production means so much more than just money but we tend to focus solely on the cash as our barometer of success. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The investment you make in people’s lives pay huge dividends that have eternal consequences. When we honor God with our lives, God will bless and enrich us with such treasures that span not just our time here on earth but await us in eternity as well.
We need to sow the seeds of true success in our lives so we can honor the Lord while we prosper in his grace and mercy!
In Christ
