Numbers 28-30, Psalm 49
Psalm 49:16-17 (NLT)
“So don’t be dismayed when the wicked grow rich and their homes become ever more splendid. For when they die, they take nothing with them.”
In Psalm 49:16–17, the psalmist reminds us that wealth is not permanent. We are told not to fear when others become rich or when prosperity increases, because no one takes material wealth with them at death. True security cannot be found in possessions but in the Lord.
These verses remind me that my security must rest in my covenant relationship with Father-God rather than in material wealth. At the same time, I do not need to fear wealth itself. If the Lord entrusts me with financial resources, I can rely on the Holy Spirit to guide me in stewarding them wisely.
For a long time, I carried a quiet fear of having money because of what I absorbed from society—that wealth corrupts or leads people astray. But I now realize that fear came from a lack of trust. I was unsure whether I would handle wealth responsibly. With my relationship with the Holy Spirit, however, I know I can seek guidance in how to manage resources faithfully. Wealth, when surrendered to the Lord, becomes a tool to serve His purposes—caring for the poor, supporting ministry, and helping those in need.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who gives true security and guides us in every area of life—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
