In 2 Kings chapter 4, we learn about the widow who sought to recover from the loss of her husband. She was faced with the challenge of losing her sons to those creditors who had been instructed to recover the debts left by her husband. She turned to Elisha the prophet and, in spite of his surprising advice to find and fill jars with her oil, obeyed. The result? Her debts repaid and a household enjoying financial recovery.

Paul informs the believers in the church at Corinth that, “their bodies were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men” (1 Corinthians 7: 23). You will recall that Proverbs 22:7 reads, “Just as the rich rule the poor, so the borrower is servant to the lender” (TLB).
