Proverbs 22:7 (NKJV) 7 The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender.
Are we a borrower? Do we have debts to others?
The world today runs on the principle of debt and borrowing. And it’s not a good thing.
Debt is a form of modern slavery. The borrower is subject to the lender, just as the verse above states clearly. When we owe people money, we are beholden to them until the debt is paid in full.
Debt is very costly. Things paid for using debt cost many times more than if we bought them with cash.
And debt, if not managed properly, can become a trap that’s hard to get out of.
Debt can become stressful and can even affect our walk with God, as we struggle to make ends meet and get distracted by the pressures of failing finances. It can also alter our giving habits when we become financially over-extended.
We want to encourage you today, that if you’re in debt, take whatever steps are necessary to get out. Break the chains of debt and leave them behind you.
It’s not an easy thing to do, but it’s worth every bit of effort required.
