My husband and I began our journey into God centered finances with a bible study by Crown Ministries. Each class began with reciting last week’s bible verse from memory (no books allowed to be opened) and if you could not recite the verse you could not comment on that weeks lesson. Seriously people, no talking! I am an introvert but one way I do love to interact, is discussing what I am learning with others, you can bet I memorized all those verses, and to this day they impact all our families financial decisions.
I have learned several more verses since that bible study years ago and today I want to share 10 of my most favorite verses on how to handle money with you.

1. Stewardship
2. Self Control
3. Giving
4. Contentment
5. Coveting
6. Work Ethic
7. Debt
8. Tithing
9. Honesty
10. Rest
I think it is important for every christian who is looking to improve the financial state of their household to memorize scriptures on money. I am so glad I was forced to all those years ago. I now memorize willingly as I really saw the fruit of having scripture deep within you heart and mind.
Your Money Counts is the book that went along with the Crown Ministry Bible Study I took so many years ago. I still refer to Your Money Counts several times a year for biblical sound advice on how to best handle my family’s money.
Simple Ways To Sprinkle Scripture On Stewardship Throughout Your Home

1. Chalkboard
Did you know you can buy framed Chalkboards from Amazon? You can even buy the sandwich board style that would be so cute placed outside your front door with one of these verses.
2. Whiteboard
A magnetic whiteboard placed in the entranceway to your home is handy for more than notes–use it to put a scripture where you will see it every day as you enter and leave your home.
3. Felt Board
Felt boards are all the rage! Place one in your home in an area people pass daily. Or you could get a tabletop one and meditate on a verse as you eat.
4. Printables on a Clipboard
It doesn’t take long to open up your word processing program, type out a bible verse on love, and create a black and white printable with it. All you need to do is play around with the fonts and spacing until you like what you see.
Print your verse out and then place it on a clipboard with a hole in the top and hang it wherever you want in your home using command hooks. You could even make a wall full of clipboards with verses.
5. Removable Wall Decals
Amazon sells several different removable wall decals that contain scriptures.
6. Use Your Creative To Create Wall Hangings And More
If you have a Cricut, then the ideas for where you can place scripture are endless. You can put verses on t-shirts, walls, glassware, binders, cups and so much more with one of these machines.
Of course, you can place scripture around your home using other art mediums including hand-lettering on canvas, paper, or wood.
