Any routine ideas for biblical application to the Miser's Dream?

I'm trying to come up with some based on money Scriptures, but so far I'm coming up blank.

Thanks,
Levi -

You reap what you sow - pay Caesar or the Lord - have a concordance (check your local Library or google) ? Look up Money - coins - giving -receiving = etc. Blessings RR

Many ways to approach this classic other than the "nothing at the end" or a shower of coins.
The power of the effect can be enhanced by verifying the exact count of "Evidence of God's presence" against what was perceived.

For example, you could find five coins from unexpected places to drop in the chalice.
Then three are poured out into the hand or "taken to heart." One was just a gift of good will from a friend while the other was "false hope"

You can now tell a story for each of the righteous coins appropriate to the audience and any theme.

They key factor is no the value of the coin as "money," but the circumstances under which it entered your life.

Yougather expeiences easily, but need to contemplate on their spiritual value

My favorite non-coin, is any rope tie escape - you or a Volunteer (2 or 3) - with the scripture, 1st Corinthians 10:13

Again, thank you for the suggestions.
As of right now I'm liking 1 Cor 2:9 for this one. Especially since it mentions what we see with our eyes, hear with our ears...
I'm going to do the Solari version for this with the giant coin reveal. I think it will work really well.

Low hanging fruit, but the parable of the talents gives you quite a good moment of money doubling, and a disappearance of one coin to another location, and the moral could be easily punched up with a traditional miser's dream finish!

All good recommendations from these guys. Here are some other ideas:
Jesus feeding the 5000, where God turns little into much.
You could even do a version with manna.
The story of the widow's mite, whose offering was worth more than it appeared.

And some more verses for inspiration:
Matthew 6:19-21
Mark 8:36
Ecclesiastes 5:10
Philippians 4:11-13
Philippians 4:19
Malachi 3:10

And of course Proverbs is always great for practical lessons:
Proverbs 16:16
Proverbs 13:11
Proverbs 23:4-5
