The poor person can more clearly see himself saved by the providence of God than the rich, for he trusts in the abundance of his riches.
It may be God has made a person poor because He wants to make them rich. Hearken, my beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the poor of this world that they might be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to those that love him? (James 2:5).
I am persuaded that if men under this hand of God would quietly lie down and humble themselves, they would find more peace and blessing from God with them in it than most people are aware of. But receiving discipline and correction is hard and, as a result, I donât expect many to read my counsel with pleasure or a desire to take it.
Having spoken about the broken man in this way, in regards to his own self, I will now speak about how he stands in relation to his creditors. The next thing such a man should do is to follow the most honest way of dealing with his creditors, and I think it must be this:
First, let him make known to them his financial situation in a timely manner. And along with this, he should do these three things.
Let him wholeheartedly and with all sincerity ask them for forgiveness for the wrong he has done them.
Let him offer them ALL, and I mean ALL that he has in the world. Let him hide nothing, but be willing to give them the shirt off his back. Donât even let him keep back a ring, a spoon, or anything from them.
If these first two steps wonât satisfy them, then let him offer them his body to be under their authority, either to accept imprisonment at their pleasure or to be at their service until he has made amends as they see fit, through labor and travel, only keeping something from his work for the support of his poor and distressed family, which is his responsibility to take care of. In this way, he will make what amends he is able for the wrong he has done them in wasting and spending their estates.
