Your Question:
Why did I have to go through this financial struggle?
Answer:
As I reflect on the financial struggles we've faced as a family, I'm reminded of the importance of seeking the Lord in all aspects of our lives, including our finances. My wife Susan and I have always believed that God is our source and provider, and by living in obedience to His ways, He would provide for us and meet our needs. We've learned that putting all our finances under God's covering and doing what He says to do with them can solve many money problems. In our case, we made some mistakes early on, like taking on debt and financial obligations without fully understanding the consequences. However, God was gracious and helped us navigate those challenges, teaching us valuable lessons about financial responsibility and the importance of seeking His guidance. Through it all, our faith was strengthened, and we came out of the crisis with a deeper understanding of God's provision and care for us. Looking back, I realize that our financial struggles were not just about money; they were about our faith and trust in God. It was a time of character development and self-sacrifice, and it taught us to put our trust in the Lord, rather than in our own abilities or resources. As the Bible says, "You were bought at a price" (1 Corinthians 6:20), and as Christians, we are called to live as bondservants of Jesus, serving Him and others, rather than just focusing on our own needs and desires.
