The Commerce Bank Review

There may be legal remedies to avoid creditors, such as bankruptcy, but there are no scriptural remedies. “The wicked borrows and does not pay back, but the righteous is gracious and gives” (Psalm 37:21).

In worldly terms, this principle will not seem logical. Many times even Christians begin to doubt God, often saying, “How will I live if they take everything?”

Thus we begin to seek “logical” ways to shelter possessions from legitimate creditors. But as Christians we cannot do that. We must accept the fact that God is in control and that He understands our needs and promises to provide them.

Attitude is the key, for it is attitude that brings into play a source of supernatural power. God says, “If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it” (John 14:14). So we must accept God’s plan of recovery when in financial bondage.
