I have someone borrow money from me, and I wondered why it took her so long to pay me when she gave me a promised date, and was disheartened when she hasn't informed me as to why. Little did I know that God was preparing the payment date for my own good. I lost my client just a 2 or 3 weeks ago (I know, right. Yet again.) When I got myself a new client, I didn't have any money in my pocket (or in my account) anymore. I had to borrow from one of my friends, and my sister. So at the day when I didn't have any, that was also the day that she paid me. I now had a budget for 3 days before my next salary, which was still a small amount because of the payroll cut-off. How God manages everything in my life! All glory, and Honor to my LORD! :)
In the New Testament, Jesus tells us not to “turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you” (Matthew 5:42)
He applied this principle even to our enemies in their time of need: “But love your enemies and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great” (Luke 6:35)
The clear teaching of the Bible is that God expects His children to act righteously when lending money. And it helps us to remember that our ability to produce wealth comes from God (Deut 8:18)
