Debt Free
February 29, 2024
Hey Clawson Family,
Song:
Scripture:
Romans 13:8
8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.
Devotion:
God makes it clear in the Bible: Debt is not a good thing.
But so many people are drowning in debt. God wants you out of debt. He wants you to repay what you owe so He can bless you in your finances. But working your way out of debt isn’t easy. First you have to commit to do it, and then you need to make a plan for it.
Let’s look at those two steps.
Commit to getting out of debt. You’ve probably noticed that it’s easy to just find yourself into debt. You don’t even have to think about it. But you cannot just get out of debt. You’ve got to make a U-turn and start a long climb back up the hill. That requires a tough decision and a commitment to the time and discipline it will take to get out of debt.
It’s easy to feel alone in this uphill climb. But God knows right where you are! He understood this was going to happen a long time ago. And in the midst of your problems, he wants to help you, to strengthen you, and to grow you. He is with you in this challenge. You are not alone.
Make a plan to get out of debt. Getting out of debt is a day-by-day, step-by-step task. And it involves a word that most people don’t like: discipline. It means not buying that, resolving to do this, deciding not to do that.
Commit to the plan, determine to do whatever it takes to accomplish your goals.
Imagine where you could be in a year if you took diligent steps to be free of debt. Then resolve to take those steps every day, relying on God’s wisdom and grace to do the hard thing.
Journal:
