Investments

What investment strategy does God recommend?
1Timothy 6:17-19
6:17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 6:18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 6:19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
Christ teaching does not advise investments that are safe or investments of limited liability. His teachings always encourage stepping out in faith but coupled with wisdom. In fact there is no safe investment.
Contentment is not related to amount of money or possession.
Philippians 4:12-13
4:12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 4:13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
A valuable reminder for property owners.
Leviticus 25:23
25:23 "'The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you are but aliens and my tenants.
If we put God first, He will take care of all our need.
Matthew 6:33
6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
