Tuesday question...


Okay, I would like to open this one up for discussion.

Some of my friends that I've talked to are in a financial bind right now. Some without jobs, some without enough hours at their jobs to make ends meet, and some with debt stacked up from when they had no job. When we look at the Bible, we can see instances where God tells us not to worry about tomorrow. (Matt. 6:25-34, Luke 2:22-34) What does this mean, practically? When you don't seem to have any way to pay off a debt, what do you do about it? Simply pray and hope that God takes care of it? Or are there some steps you can take that can push it along? Now, I'm not saying that He doesn't have the capability to just, out of the blue, supply the finances necessary to settle that debt or whatever. Nor am I saying that simply trusting in God is a necessarily bad approach. On the contrary! Trusting in God is always a good approach! But looking at the Bible, can you see if God expects us to do more than simply pray about it?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Chris
