Tonight I've been paying bills. It's a tiresome job but someone's got to do it. Thank God for His provisions in terms of a job and finances. Sometimes we struggle but He never lets us down.
I like to use an online bill paying system. I don't have to worry about getting cash or writing and mailing checks. I just enter the payee and the amount and it is taken care of. Ah, yes, I thank God too for modern conveniences like this.
I got to thinking about imputed righteousness. When I make a payment, my account is debited, but someone gets a credit. And when my employer pays me, it is a direct deposit and in that case I receive the credit.
Romans 4 says of Abraham: 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. 22 This is why "it was credited to him as righteousness."
Because we believe the promises of God, He credits righteousness to our accounts. He moves funds that benefit us - not literal funds but accounts of righteousness.
Isn't that a glorious thought?????
