Ultimately no doubt all material things belong to God as Creator, but the amount of money in God's treasury today is limited by the number of people who are devoted to him. If I had lived in Old Testament times I could have calculated immediately the amount of money in the sanctuary. Yes, it is the number of God's people that determine the amount of God's money. The margin of wealth in God's treasury is based on the number of people devoted to him. Whenever I receive a dollar, or whenever I earn a dollar, let me make sure that that dollar is instantly converted from world currency into the currency of the sanctuary.
Money can be our destruction, but money can also be our protection.
It can be of great account to the Lord. If you yourself come heart and soul out of the world, then you can, if God so wills it, bring many precious things out of the world with you. When the Israelites came out of Egypt they brought away much treasure with them. They spoiled the Egyptians, and the spoil they carried away with them went to construct the Tabernacle. Some too, we recall, went to construct a golden calf and was lost to God.
