Learning To Live For God                         LFG009
Using Our Earthly Treasures Wisely
Intimacy Builder: Tell of a treasure that means much to you but not to others.

Proverbs 3: 27Do all you can for everyone who deserves your help. 28Don't tell your neighbor to come back tomorrow, if you can help today. Galatians 6: 9Don't get tired of helping others. You will be rewarded when the time is right, if you don't give up. 10We should help people whenever we can, especially if they are followers of the Lord. (CEV)
1. Who are those who don't deserve by help?

Luke 3: 14... John told them, "Don't force people to pay money to make you leave them alone. Be satisfied with your pay." Romans 13: 8Let love be your only debt!
Hebrews 13: 5Don't fall in love with money. Be satisfied with what you have. The Lord has promised that he will not leave us or desert us. (CEV)
2. How can we let go our love for things money buys, when we can't even afford them?

Malachi 3: 8You people are robbing me, your God. And, here you are, asking, "How are we robbing you?" You are robbing me of the offerings and of the ten percent that belongs to me. Deuteronomy 14:23Also set aside ten percent of your wine and olive oil, and the first-born of every cow, sheep, and goat.... This will teach you to always respect the LORD your God. (CEV)
3. How does it teach me respect for giving, when God doesn't need my offering?

Proverbs 21:5If you plan and work hard, you will have plenty; if you get in a hurry, you will end up poor.... 17.... others who live only for pleasure will lose all they have....
20Be sensible and store up precious treasures-- don't waste them like a fool. 21If you try to be kind and good, you will be blessed with life and goodness and honor. (CEV)
4. Where is a safe place to lay up treasures?

Ecclesiastes 5: 7Respect and obey God! Daydreaming leads to a lot of senseless talk.
Psalms 37: 21An evil person borrows and never pays back; a good person is generous and never stops giving. (CEV)
5. What do the Scriptures say about an evil person who is also a very giving person?

Proverbs 24: 3 By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established
Proverbs 16: 7When we please the LORD, even our enemies make friends with us. (CEV)
Proverbs 20: 18Plans succeed through good counsel.... (NLT)
6. How do you see the Lord making our enemies into friends?
