Be
aware of the cautions about growing indebtedness.
Read the following verses. Think
and pray about the verse that applies the most to your life.:
Proverbs 22:7
Just as the rich rule
the poor, so the borrower is servant to the lender.
Romans 13:7-8
Give to everyone what
you owe them…Pay all your debts, except the debt of love for others.
You can never finish paying that!
Psalms 37:21
The wicked borrow and
never repay, but the godly are generous givers.
Deuteronomy 28:12-15,
43-44
The LORD will…bless
all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will
borrow from none. The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If
you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God…you will
always be at the top, never at the bottom…However, if you do not
obey the LORD your God and do not carefully follow all his
commands…the alien who lives among you will rise above you higher
and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. He will lend to you,
but you will not lend to him. He will be the head, but you will be
the tail.
Proverbs 21:5
Good planning and hard
work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.
Proverbs 22:27
If you lack the means to pay, your very bed will
be
snatched from under
you.
“When I put Christ
and His Word as the Master in charge of my finances, He took far
better care of me than my Master Charge ever did.”
Brian Kluth

Little Girl Yelling, “God, I want my quarter back!”
At church
one day, my friends Tom and Jean were trying to get their 4-year-old
daughter, Amanda, to put a quarter in the offering plate. But Amanda
squeezed her fingers tightly around the quarter and would not let it go.
Much to the embarrassment of her parents and the snickers of people
around them, they finally had to carefully pry each of her fingers off
the quarter before it finally clinked into the offering plate. Later
that afternoon, Jean heard Amanda playing on the back yard swing. Every
time Amanda got as high as possible on the swing, she'd yell at the top
of her lungs, “God, I want my quarter back! God, I want my quarter
back!” Have you ever felt like Amanda? Do you sometimes have a hard time
giving to God? You, too, can become a joyful giver without anyone having
to pry your fingers off of what you’re so tightly holding onto.
