Breaking through debt

EDWIN G. LEEVER

You take a look at your bills and another at your bank balance. The totals don't even come close. What do you do? Try to figure out again who gets paid this time? Or decide it's time you quit putting up with indebtedness? The choice is yours.

Ponder this passage from the Bible: "Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?" Isa. 58:6; Every yoke of bondage, including indebtedness, can be broken. The Apostle Paul reassures us that "God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Phil. 4:19;

Christian Science teaches us that we don't have to tolerate lack, which is so often the main reason for indebtedness. We can heal it as we let God supply all our need. This doesn't mean we sit down and do nothing, waiting for a bonanza. Nor do we run merrily to the stores with all our credit cards, saying God will take care of everything.
