What to pay back? - The somewhat different Advent Calender V ...

Wednesday, Dec 5, 2012. We are talking about pure hands - how do I keep pure hands. One thought which comes to my mind when I hear this is always: debts.

Where do I owe money or other things? …

I had the following experiences many times in my life. Usually, when you have a family and many things are going on, you also collect bills for doctors, for craftsmen, for this or that which had to be repaired, for things you needed to buy either online or somewhere. You collect debts.

When I paid all my debts, I often realized that I had more than before, soon after I carried out all the payments. I tend to delay payments, to have more money. But that is the wrong strategy. You should pay people your debts. You should be careful with what you owe to others. Give, where you have borrowed. Pay back what you still need to pay!

I consider my experiences to be real Christian experiences. God wants us to pay what we owe. He wants us not to delay payments, but to pay in time. And when we follow him, he helps us. He responds to our needs. When we are short of money, just because we follow him, he will definitely help us!

Paul in Romans 13 …

In Romans 13 it is written: “8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, …”. So it is a direct command of the apostle Paul to all of us, to pay our debts. That is an important command. It applies to many of us. Only the love, which we are asked to give one another, will never be fully paid.

Lord! I want to follow you. I want to go steps of faith. Please help me to be full of discipline and pay my debts. Please help me to save the money, which I need to save to pay what I owe others. Please help me to get my life under control! Please help me with a job, with finances, with all I do!

I am very confident that the Lord will help you to follow him, to do what he asked you to do. Just keep asking him, just keep going! The Lord be with you and bless you today … (Roland Potthast) ... more texts
