ANNUAL DAY OF PRAYER FOR

VICTIMS OF HUMAN-TRAFFICKING

THE CROSS

“And what does the LORD

Micah 6:8

Intr.:

require of you?

1. To act justly and
2. to love mercy and
3. to walk humbly with your God.”

End:

“Confronting debt important for less stress life,” it says in the paper today. (Northern Advocate, Friday, September 16, 2016)

I am surprised myself that I am reading about debt again. In the article I am told what debt can do to us:

• Relationships can be destroyed by debt.
• Lives can be destroyed by debt.
• Debt repayments can cause financial hardship.
• Debt can drag us down
• Debt can cause fear.

Tips are given on how to confront debt. I think the summary is to pay off debt and not to take on more.

The Bible says in Romans 13:8, “LET NO DEBT REMAIN OUTSTANDING, EXCEPT THE CONTINUING DEBT TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER,…”

People who do what the Bible says do not have to confront debt.

THE CROSS

“I knew

Jonah 4:2

Intr.:

that you are

1. a gracious and
2. compassionate God,
3. slow to anger and
4. abounding in love,
5. a God who relents from sending calamity.”
