Today, I would like to write about something that most churches are afraid to talk about. This subject is money. Money in and of itself isn't bad. What we do with it, and where our heart is makes a huge difference.
We can either be humble and Praise God for his providence to take care care of the necessities (Food, water, clothing, a home, and reasonable transportation.) What gets God mad and jealous, is when we idolize money and don't put God first. In the Bible it says," Trust in the Lord first with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your body And refreshment to your bones. Honor the Lord from your wealth and from the first of all your produce; So your barns will be filled with plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine. My son, do not reject the discipline of the Lord Or loathe His reproof, For whom the Lord loves He reproves, Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights. How blessed is the man who finds wisdom And the man who gains understanding. For her profit is better than the profit of silver and her gain better than fine gold. She is more precious than jewels; nothing you desire compares with her. Long life is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, and happy are all who hold her fast."
Proverbs 3:5-18 NASB

In these verses, the "she" that is referred to is the noun understanding and wisdom.
