Credit, Debt, and Loans

Yesterday, we had Connect with Bro. Bobby Fisher from Lake Osceola State Bank. The title of the talk was Borrowing From the Ultimate Lender. We are blessed to have him with us every Wednesday in the month of October talking about Credit, Debt and Loans in Part 2 of The Path to Financial Freedom. We have been looking at these financial matters from a natural and a spiritual perspective - it has been an eye opening, thought provoking experience and we're only through week one!
Prov 22:7 (New International Version) ⁷ The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

My key take-away from yesterday was that God has lent us everything we have, so we are all automatically indebted to Him - we are automatically set up in a position to be His servants. The joy comes when we learn to willingly serve Him as He graciously blesses and provides for us. Everyday, He continues to loan us breath, life, talents, time, and every good and perfect gift - He has given us life, so we are forever indebted to give Him life back!

Deuteronomy 28:12 (King James Version)¹²The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

When we come to accept the terms and realize that all we have comes from Him, He in turn transforms us into His image and converts us to lenders and no longer borrowers! We remain indebted, but thank God - those of us who have accepted Him are in the process of paying Him back and we walk in the image of our creator as lenders. He blesses who He trusts!

You can join us every Wednesday at Connect at 7pm at Victory Life - 430 N. Third - Big Rapids.
