It can be challenging to care for our needs and also give Jehovah the worship he deserves. The Bible offers practical advice that can help us.</p> <h3 class="du-color--turquoise-700 du-fontSize--base du-margin-top--8" id="p4" data-pid="4"><strong>1. What does the Bible say about work?</strong></h3> <p id="p5" data-pid="5">God wants us to enjoy our work. The Bible says that <strong>“there is nothing better for a man than to . . . find enjoyment in his hard work.”</strong> (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1102021237/0/0" data-bid="1-1" class="b">Ecclesiastes 2:24</a>) Jehovah works hard. When we imitate him by working diligently, we please him and feel a sense of satisfaction.</p> <p id="p6" data-pid="6">Work is important. But we should never allow it to become more important than our worship of Jehovah. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1102021237/1/0" data-bid="2-1" class="b">John 6:27</a>) He promises that when we put him first, he will care for our physical needs.</p> <h3 class="du-color--turquoise-700 du-fontSize--base du-margin-top--8" id="p7" data-pid="7"><strong>2.</strong> <strong>What is a balanced view of money?</strong></h3> <p id="p8" data-pid="8">While the Bible acknowledges that “money is a protection,” it also warns that money alone cannot make us happy. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1102021237/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">Ecclesiastes 7:12</a>) Thus, we are encouraged not to love money but to be <strong>“content with the present things.”</strong> (Read <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1102021237/3/0" data-bid="4-1" class="b">Hebrews 13:5</a>.) When we remain content with what we have, we free ourselves from the frustration of always wanting more. We avoid unnecessary debt. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1102021237/4/0" data-bid="5-1" class="b">Proverbs 22:7</a>) And we escape the dangers of gambling and pursuing get-rich-quick schemes.</p> <h3 class="du-color--turquoise-700 du-fontSize--base du-margin-top--8" id="p9" data-pid="9"><strong>3.</strong> <strong>How can money be used unselfishly?</strong></h3> <p id="p10" data-pid="10">Jehovah is a generous God, and we imitate him when we are <strong>“generous, ready to share.”</strong> (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1102021237/5/0" data-bid="6-1" class="b">1 Timothy 6:18</a>) We can use our money unselfishly by supporting the congregation and by helping others in need, especially fellow worshippers. Jehovah is most interested in, not the amount we give, but our motive for giving. When we give generously from the heart, we will be happy and we will please Jehovah.—Read <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1102021237/6/0" data-bid="7-1" class="b">Acts 20:35</a>.</p> </div> <div id="tt8"> <h2 class="du-color--coolGray-400 du-fontSize--basePlus1 du-letterSpacing--8 du-constrainStylesToTextWidth du-borderStyle-top--solid du-borderColor-top--coolGray-400 du-borderWidth-top--4 du-margin-top--12 du-padding-top--4" id="p11" data-pid="11"><span id="page156" class="pageNum" aria-hidden="true" data-no="156" data-before-text="156"></span><strong>DIG DEEPER</strong></h2> <div id="tt10" class="du-fontSize--basePlus1"> <p id="p12" data-pid="12">See the benefits of keeping work in its proper place and of being content.</p> </div> <h3 class="du-color--turquoise-700 du-margin-top--8" id="p13" data-pid="13"><strong>4.
