We all have dreams of becoming wealthy and living a life of luxury, but why are we meant to be rich before God? The answer lies in the Bible. The Bible tells us that God desires for us to be prosperous and to have abundance in our lives. In Deuteronomy 8:18, it says, “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.” God wants us to be blessed and to have abundance in our lives. God also wants us to be generous with our wealth. In Proverbs 11:25, it says, “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” God wants us to use our wealth to help others and to be a blessing to those around us. God also wants us to be wise with our wealth. In Proverbs 21:20, it says, “The wise have wealth and luxury, but fools spend whatever they get.” God wants us to be wise stewards of our wealth and to use it to further His kingdom. Finally, God wants us to be content with our wealth. In 1 Timothy 6:6-8, it says, “But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.” God wants us to be content with what we have and to not be consumed with the pursuit of wealth. We are meant to be rich before God because He desires for us to be blessed, generous, wise, and content with our wealth. We should use our wealth to further His kingdom and to be a blessing to those around us.
