Money Scriptures Every Christian Should KnowНамуна

We were slaves to sin, but Jesus came to set us free. If He wanted to set us free in one area, why would He want us to be slaves in another?

Whether you've acquired debt through circumstances beyond your control or through your own mistakes, I believe God would love to see His children living debt-free lives. As stewards of the money that He has entrusted to us, we have a free will. We can choose to give, save, or spend however we like.

We can even spend more than we have.

The good news is that God will work on our behalf to help get us out of debt, but we have a part to play. It doesn't matter how much God provides - if we spend more money than we have, we will always be in debt.

Getting out of debt is not a one-time decision.

I wish getting out of debt, losing weight, and exercising were one-time decisions, but they are not. They need to be decided over and over again. Every time you feel tempted to buy something you don't need, eat a dozen Oreos, or just feel like sitting on the couch, you have a decision to make. Are you going to do what you should do, or what you FEEL like doing?

You probably know what most of us do most of the time - what we FEEL like doing. That's why we need God's help. Set your intention, then put your trust in HIm. Your faith, mixed with action, will make all the difference.

If you're in debt and want to get out, spend a moment praying for God's help:

God, I know You can do all things and that I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength. I want to get out of debt, but I need Your help. Lead my by Your wisdom as I begin this journey. Help me change my habits and my mindset. Work through me and others so I can eliminate all of my debt. Lead me to a place where I can be in a position to give more to others.

For Your glory and in Jesus' Name,

Amen
