I
appreciate the language in this chapter as providing guidance for each of
us. There is a recognition, in the Lord,
of the value of money. We clearly don’t
think of it as worthless, because money is a necessary element of our society
that can accomplish a great deal. In our
scriptures, there are several times when the benefits of money are clearly
shown (whether the widow’s mite or seeking for riches after seeking for the Kingdom of God ).
We get
another example of that here. The
instruction is given to seek out the money that they could obtain in
righteousness for the Lord’s purposes. I
think each of the conditions are important – it isn’t enough to merely have the
Lord’s purposes in mind (important though that is). We must also be seeking to obtain that money
in righteousness.
