Daily Devotions: Prosperity: How You Use It Counts - February 20, 2026
Proverbs 10:15–16 (NLT)
“The wealth of the rich is their fortress; the poverty of the poor is their destruction. The earnings of the godly enhance their lives, but evil people squander their money on sin.”
In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall addresses a common misunderstanding about money. Poverty is often treated as virtuous and prosperity as sinful, but Scripture says otherwise. Proverbs is clear: poverty destroys, while wealth can serve as protection. Lack brings hunger, sickness, and hardship. Provision brings shelter, food, medicine, and stability for a family.
The Bible also teaches that prosperity itself is neither righteous nor sinful. What matters is the heart behind it and how it is used. Scripture warns against loving money, not against having it. When money is devoted to God and used rightly, “the earnings of the godly enhance their lives.” When misused, it is wasted on sin.
Prosperity, handled with the right attitude, is not something to be ashamed of. It is meant to build, protect, and strengthen life, not destroy it.
