Pay at Due Time — A Call to Righteousness
Leviticus19:13
““Do not take advantage of anyone or rob him. Do not hold back the wages of someone you have hired, not even for one night.”(GNBDC).
This scripture came up in my heart this morning as I was fellowship with God, it was so strong that I had to check my books in case I have missed any. I believe God is deeply concerned about how we treat those who work for us.
In Leviticus 19:13, He commands that we must not exploit or delay the wages of a labourer, even for one night. This is not just a financial instruction; it is a matter of justice, integrity, and compassion.
When wages are delayed, it can affect livelihoods, families, and dignity. Paying at the right time reflects the character of God which is faithful, just, and dependable. As employers, leaders, or stewards, we are called to honour those who serve with fairness and promptness.
Timely payment is not generosity, it is righteousness.
