Hebrews 13:5-6
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Let us look a little deeper at the topic of 'money'.
-- The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Not money itself.
-- You cannot get to Heaven by your own works, or your own wealth.
-- Looking at your budget and bank statement: what do you see?
Are you looking at material things or at God?
Money is morally NEUTRAL
1 Timothy 6:1010 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
It is our attitude towards money that gets us into trouble. I have heard it said that money, itself, is morally neutral.
Luke 18:24-25
24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
God's grace is sufficient but, for many people, a stumbling block to this is when they think their WEALTH can get them to Heaven.
The wallet is a great window to the soul.
Luke 12:3434 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Quote: So often that verse is misquoted backward, but the meaning is still mostly the same. It’s telling us that when we look at our budget and our bank statement, we can see where our heart is. So is the large percentage of our money going toward earthly matters, or is it going to fulfill God’s purposes for it? Our spending (or saving or giving) are all good indicators of whether we’re giving our hearts to God or to material things. End Quote
