Financial Management From The Book Of Proverbs

Purify your thinking towards money by embracing the truth that God wants you to have some material things to live a humane life, enough for your needs.

​If somewhere in your brain you think that money is evil, that it is unspiritual to earn money, then somehow, even subconsciously, you will find ways of avoiding money. But the Bible doesn't say that money is evil; the love of money is. Money is neutral thing that can be used to love or hate, to build or destroy, depending on how you use it.

God wants us to manage our resources, not the other way around. Here are some Bible verses from the Book of Proverbs that will surely help you along the way to financial abundance.
