| 15 Essential Biblical Texts |
We’re all human …
We want the good things life has to offer, and that means we strive for success in our workplace, in our businesses, and in our finances.
But it’s awfully easy to get caught up in the pursuit of physical rewards, and it’s just as easy get worked up when times get tough.
Lucky for us, there is plenty of guidance and inspiration to be found in the Bible when it comes to finances and worldly possessions.
Here, then, are just a few of my favorite Bible verses about blessings and prosperity,
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Psalm 23: 5-6
….Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
Psalm 37:23-24
The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.

Philippians 3:13-14

II Corinthians 12:9-11
But he said to me, my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
1 Samuel 2:7
