—Leviticus 25:35-39

As I am writing this, we are experiencing a global pandemic from COVID-19. Our text is a reminder of how we should treat our brethren with regard to economic difficulty which can result from situations like this. Assuredly, some will fall into poverty as companies go out of business and individuals lose their jobs. Let us be mindful of these verses when individuals borrow money from us. I have made it a practice over the years to either give it to them or ask them to pay me back less than they borrowed. Occasionally, an individual does not pay it back, but that is between him/her and God. Do not let that determine how you treat others.
