When our lives are consumed with overdue bills, unsettled credit card statements, and overwhelming debt, it’s hard to imagine that it’s possible to achieve financial freedom.
The way you handle money is a reflection of the attitude of your heart. The way you handle money shows how you trust, love, and your loyalty to God. He sees our spiritual attitude towards money.
You need to go to God and get the right perspective and truth about money.
In one recent survey, 70% of Christians are in debt. God’s Word teaches us how to get out of debt. We have a God of the impossible who does wonders in changing our lives if we humble ourselves and trust Him.
Howard Dayton said, “No one who is financially bound is spiritually free”. The desire of our hearts is to be debt-free and spiritually free. The Bible gives us many stories about how God provided for His people in times of need. Jesus gave many life lessons about money. Allow God through the Holy Spirit to change our mindset and habits. It won’t be easy but the benefits are life-changing and worth it.
