Believe Your Debt Is More Than Paid
I can honestly say I, we me and my husband, have more debt than what we can possibly pay right now.
Although he has a great job, a nice pay, and full benefits, there doesn't seem to be enough to get ahead. We are a pay check to pay check kind of family.
I long to be out of debt but yet, somehow my husband doesn't necessary agree with me because the debt we've occurred in our lifetime has been because of him over extending. I'm not here to blame him, but it is quite frustrating when you pay the bills and you feel like your getting somewhere and out of the blue, he comes home with a toy you just don't need but you would love to have.
So, I'm always looking for hopeful signs God hears my prayers where debt is concerned and I came across this little devotional.
Not only did I get the hope I was looking for but oh, so much more. I now have hope and faith into someone who has paid my debt in full and money isn't the only thing on His mind. My total being is where is focus is on and I need to learn and act on what He paid for and then watch Him work on my behave as well as on my future.
God Bless.
Believe Your Debt Is More Than Paid!
Hebrews 10:22 22let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
I would like you to imagine this scenario: You borrow a huge sum of money from a friend and promise to pay him back in six months’ time. When the time comes, you feel really bad because you cannot repay him as you don’t have the money. A year rolls by without you repaying a cent. Now, you feel extremely guilty.
You try to avoid your friend because you are too embarrassed and ashamed to see him. Let’s say that your best friend hears about your plight. Out of the goodness of his heart, he goes to your creditor and says, “Look, I understand that my best friend owes you money.” “Yes, he owes me US$50,000.” “Here is US$100,000. I am paying you on his behalf.” Your creditor says, “No, no, no! He owes me only US$50,000.”
Your best friend says, “I know. But take the US$100,000 so that you can never say that he still owes you money.” Now, your debt has been paid, in fact, more than paid. But if you don’t know or believe this, that debt will still be on your conscience. You will still be afraid to see your creditor. And you will avoid him because he reminds you of your debt.
My friend, you need to know that Jesus was an overpayment when He offered Himself as your sin offering, because of the quality and worth of the Man Himself. My friend, He overpaid for your sins when He became your sacrifice on the cross.
But if you don’t know or believe this, you will suffer as your unbelief will rob you of assurance, joy and peace. You will still have debt on your conscience. Even though God is not imputing sin to you (Romans 4:8), sin is still on your conscience. And as long as sin is on your conscience, you won’t dare to draw near to Him.
Beloved, the truth is that your sins have been more than paid for. Jesus was an overpayment. So draw near to God today with no sin on your conscience!
Thought For The Day Jesus was an overpayment when He offered Himself as your sin offering, so draw near to God today with no sin on your conscience!
