Matthew 6:24

“Jesus, grant that balm and healing in Thy holy wounds I find, ev’ry hour that I am feeling pain of body and of mind.”  How can Lenten repentance for sin also free us from painful hours of financial fretting?

"And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” ’  “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’  “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

~Luke 12:19-21

Sin uses our desires to enslave us.  Credit card debt, unsustainable life styles, financial fears, financial confidence… those are symptoms of our bondage to sin.  Jesus forgives our sin of searching for fulfillment apart from God, but the Gospel of forgiveness does something more.  It helps us reboot to a new attitude, a determined attitude to break financial bondage.  “He breaks the power of cancelled sin” (Lutheran Service Book 528, 4)

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”

~Galatians 5:1
