It’s Payback Time! Give me mine!
Proverbs 6:31 says, “Yet if he is caught, he must pay back sevenfold, though it costs him all the wealth of his house.”
Many years ago, my mom and dad lived in the country in Texas. My mom spent more than seven months in the hospital, and my dad made frequent trips to be with her. During that time, a family friend would check on their home.
My parents were poor, but they had a small amount of silver stored in a drawer. At that time, it was worth about $3,000, and they intended to someday give it to their children.
One day, my dad came home from the hospital and discovered the drawer was open. The silver was gone! The family friend was confronted but never confessed—and never returned to the house.
My dad was heartbroken. He called my sister, Mellody, and me and told us what had happened. We had been learning the power of standing on God's Word, specifically about stealing. We took Proverbs 6:31 and prayed: “Father, the thief has been found. We ask You, on behalf of our parents, to restore seven times what was stolen. We declare Your Word, believe Your promise, and agree together for restoration!”
About ten days later, my dad received a call from a farmer who lived behind their property. He wanted to purchase a piece of land from my parents and offered $21,000 in cash.
That was seven times the $3,000 value of the stolen silver!
My mom and dad were filled with joy. They were able to purchase the car they needed—a Honda—and what had been a painful loss became a testimony of God's provision.
When Something Has Been Stolen from You: Do what we did!
- Stand on God's Word. Believe that God can restore.
- Pray and trust God to provide. Don't let the loss become bigger than your Provider.
- Release the anxiety. Give God the burden and trust Him with the outcome.
- Ask God to heal your heart. Don't allow betrayal to produce bitterness.
- Pray for the perpetrator. Pray for salvation, repentance, and transformation.
What someone has taken from you does not limit what God can restore to you. Your loss can become your testimony, starting today!
My Prayer for You: Father, in Jesus’ name, restore what has been stolen, heal every wound, replace anxiety with peace, and turn their loss into a powerful testimony of Your goodness. And Lord, let every person reading this know: You have not forgotten them. You see their loss. You hear their prayers. And You are still able to restore everything!
