Every morning when I leave town as I go on to the highway, I see a little sign that says “Bankruptcy or Divorce from $500.” I understand that the economy is tough and times are hard, but seriously? With the new president, though we don’t really know what his plans are, we do hope the change is a good thing for the economy. Looking at the stimulus package in the house and senate, I am not so sure that change is good. But nevertheless, we must have faith. Faith is what keeps us going. I have faith that God will keep my family afloat through these rough economic times. I know this because the Bible tells me that God will provide. But I also know this from past circumstances. God has delivered us through many trials, some financial, some relational, and some spiritual. But God has delivered us, and we are thankful for that. But how can a person know that God will take of them? Well, you first have to declare bankruptcy. Yes, you heard me correctly, declare bankruptcy. You don’t need file chapter 7 bankruptcy or anything like that (save that $500!), rather, you need to declare your moral bankruptcy. You must admit to God that you have fallen short of His Glory and accept the gift of Life that Jesus gave us when He was upon the cross. When we do that we become unblemished to God. We are no longer bankrupt! There is no need for us to worry about being bankrupt again when we have the blood of the Lamb covering us. We are spotless before the Lord and we can come to His throne. Nothing can take that away from us. Christ refers to us numerous times as His bride. With Him, there is no chance of divorce (save another $500!). We are the bride of Christ who will be taken up to Heaven to spend eternity with Christ. The Christian band Sanctus Real has a song titled Eternal and the chorus of the song says this message the best. And in this marriage of our hearts, There is no death do us part, For You are eternal, And I am eternally Yours. We are eternally His. There is no lawyer who can draw up papers to nullify this marriage contract. With that said, there is nothing to fear because God will be beside us forever. There is nothing this world can do to change that. I will live my life here on earth to the fullest, doing what I can do to glorify God because I know one day I will come before His throne and worship Him. Nothing in this world can take that away. My appointed time is set, and there is nothing that can erase that from the docket.
