Ecclesiastes 5:19 NLT And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God.
So many believers take issue with other believers having wealth. They think it leads people to being materialistic or worldly. Somehow, they think believers should have just enough finances to cover a “moderate” lifestyle. Anything after that is excessive and could lead us astray.
This scripture debunks that mindset. God’s word says it’s a good thing to receive wealth from God. The two important words in that statement are “from God.” Getting wealth through deceptive schemes or hustling could lead someone astray, but getting wealth from God is a good thing.
If God gives us wealth, that means we can be trusted with it. We’re not hoarding all of it for ourselves and only for our desires. We’re being a blessing with it. We’re giving it to missions, we’re helping the poor, and we’re expanding the Kingdom of God. We’re doing all of this as well as enjoying life.
As we can see, there’s nothing wrong with having God-given wealth. Just be sure you have the right mindset when you get it and you’re being led by the Spirit on what to do with it.
