Borrowing money makes modern society work.
We get that new car when it’s most useful, right now, and we can get to our job on time.
That big house is there for our children, and they can enjoy it while they’re growing.
If we’re forced to wait until we’re rich enough, powerful enough, or strong enough to stretch our wings, sometimes our window of opportunity will have passed us by.
When the water heater needs repaired, it needs repaired, even if we don’t have the cash in the bank. The same is true of our car’s transmission, the roof on the house, and our son or daughter’s college expense.
We need to make friends with the bank’s loan officer if we want to get the help we need.
Psalm 50:15 tells us we have access to the greatest loan officer ever known.
“And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”
That’s our God, our reservoir of help in our time of need. When trouble comes our way, he’s there to bail us out.
He does expect to be repaid, however. Reread the final four words in this verse: You shall glorify me.
That’s our loan cost, our repayment fee. Worshipping the Lord is how we cover our costs and make it right with our God.
That’s right. That’s all God expects from us. When he comes to our rescue, he desires us to lift our hands in praise and worship him.
God thrives on our praise; and lifting our hands to him is easy for us to do.
