The Weight of Debt

Debt is a terrible thing, at least the kind that isn't a manageable mortgage. It weighs you down, saps your energy, keeps you awake at night. If we didn't know that we have an all powerful, Sovereign God that holds us in His hands, we would feel so completely lost. He forgives our sins, even our biggest mistakes, and delivers us from guilt and shame. Shame does nothing for us, nor does wallowing in guilt. No, problems are solved not by self-flagellation but by turning to the Savior, whose grace is unlimited. He has a plan to get us out of the mess, we just have to follow Him and be obedient. Keeping close to Him keeps us from our own lunacy.
