Ask most Christians the following question and they start to squirm. “What does God think of the way you handle your finances?” The good news is, God wants your heart, not your money, and your money need not be a source of guilt. John MacArthur’s study Mastering Your Money helps you assess your attitude toward wealth, and it exposes myths about how Christians should—and should not—spend money. Think of it as a biblical grid through which you can filter future buying, saving, and investing decisions. You’ll also find comfort and encouragement for making it through times of financial worry.
06:19 .. do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth .. where moth and rust destroy .. and where thieves break in and steal 06:20 .. but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven .. where neither moth nor rust destroys .. and where thieves do not break in or steal 06:21 .. for where your treasure is .. there your heart will be also 06:22 .. the eye is the lamp of the body .. so then if your eye is clear .. your whole body will be full of light 06:23 .. but if your eye is bad .. your whole body will be full of darkness . . . If then the light that is in you is darkness .. how great is the darkness 06:24 .. no one can serve two masters .. for either he will hate the one and love the other .. ......... or he will be devoted to one and despise the other .. you cannot serve God and wealth
06:25 .. for this reason I say to you .. do not be worried about your life .. as to what you will eat or what you will drink .. ......... nor for your body .. as to what you will put on . . . Is not life more than food .. and the body more than clothing 06:26 .. look at the birds of the air .. that they do not sow .. nor reap nor gather into barns .. ......... and yet your heavenly father feeds them .. are you not worth much more than they 06:27 .. and who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life 06:28 .. and why are you worried about clothing .. observe how the lilies of the field grow .. they do not toil nor do they spin 06:29 .. yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these 06:30 .. but if God so clothes the grass of the field .. which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace . . . ......... will he not much more clothe you .. you of little faith 06:31 .. do not worry then .. saying . . . what will we eat .. or what will we drink .. or what will we wear for clothing 06:32 .. for the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things .. for your heavenly father knows that you need all these things 06:33 .. but seek first his kingdom and his righteousness .. and all these things will be added to you 06:34 .. so do not worry about tomorrow .. for tomorrow will care for itself . . . each day has enough trouble of its own
