Investment and greed are not the same thing. Investment is the act of sowing to reap a future harvest. Greed is the act of consumption.

Do not be one who shakes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts; if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you.

Proverbs 22:26-27

Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense.

Proverbs 12:11

Love of money is a state of heart and state of mind. The acquisition of wealth is merely a direction of travel.

Rich Abba, Holy Abba

A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.

Proverbs 22:1

We can’t tell someone who is sowing seeds for future harvest that money can’t buy happiness while we are spending our last dime on a massive tub of popcorn at the cinema!

Rich Abba, Holy Abba

The problem isn’t that money doesn’t buy happiness. The problem is that it does!

Rich Abba, Holy Abba

The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.

Proverbs 12:27

Many believers think the deceitfulness of riches is the foolish notion that wealth will bring fulfillment and happiness. This anticipates danger on the path ahead while ignoring the trap underfoot that has already ensnared its victim.
