Save me

[Jonathan_M]

Praying for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

You cry out to be saved from embarrassment and financial ruin, but consider whether the fear of men and the love of money have not already ensnared your soul. The threats of loan agents and the dread of a tarnished reputation consume you, yet where was this terror when you first reached for easy credit to sustain a life beyond your means? You promise never to gossip again, but vainglory and the desperate clutching after the world's respect are far weightier chains. The slave of reputation, says the Apostle, is no less a sinner than the fornicator; indeed, this passion works more grievous deeds. You are trembling at the loss of your image before colleagues and family, but Christ asks what it profits a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul.

The very trials you now face, the office politics and the pressing creditors, are perhaps the merciful medicine of God, permitted to wake you from your slumber. Your husband's medical certificate and the hoped-for retirement payout will not solve the deeper sickness. Even if every debt were cancelled tomorrow and your work-from-home preserved, your soul would still be in peril if your heart remains fixed on money and the praise of men. I have often seen how love of money brings loss upon loss in loans and purchases and positions of power. Withdraw yourself from doating on it.

Do not tell me you are temperate or that you do not rob; these alone are not virtue. What advantage is it to avoid one pit while hurtling into another? True obedience from the heart is what God desires, a turning away from the empty honors of this age. The herald John was sent from God and spoke nothing of his own; so you, if you are Christ's, must speak and live not for your own reputation but for Him who sent you. Let the world mock, let them question and insult. If you are innocent in the office matter, commit your cause to God and stop fretting over the opinions of directors and seniors. Their breath is a mist that vanishes.

Kneel and give thanks for this severe mercy. God is able to release you from all these evils, not by human power but by His grace. But first learn to despise the very embarrassment you so dread. When you can say with Paul that you count all such reputation as loss for Christ, then you will know true freedom. Seek first His kingdom, and every needful thing will be added. In place of gossip and office politics, let your tongue be employed in prayer and the defense of the injured. Then, and only then, will your household be a well-ordered camp, each soul at its post, shielded by the peace that surpasses all understanding.
