Tag: Bible verses about being the head and not the tail

Deuteronomy 28:13 (NKJV) 13 And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.

Being the head and not the tail is going to take some changes for some of us in the way we do things.

The very first thing most of us will need to do is to change the way we think regarding our lives.

When we become God’s children through Jesus Christ’s provision, we are no longer our own. We are now His Child. And if we follow His commandments, we will be above and not beneath.

Debt is a major problem in many Christian’s lives today. Being in debt will keep us as the tail, and beneath where God would have us to be. Our finances need to be freed up.

What do we do? We need to know that where we are at right now can and will be changed if we listen to what God is asking us to do.

We begin today by taking a step in our heart and speaking two words; “No more.”

No more borrowing.

No more buying things we can’t afford.

No more expensive trips.

No more frivolous spending.

No more spending money on things we don’t need, even if they are on sale or clearance.

Time to pull those reins in on unnecessary spending. For some it will be just a few minor changes. For others it may be a little harder and more discipline will be required.

And yet, for others it may be a drastic change, pulling back almost to a stopping point and really digging in to reach that place where we can breathe a little again.

If we are at a place where we are way behind on our bills and we have done everything we can, it may be time to reach out for help.

Sometimes we have to get help in ways that we would never have imagined.

Don’t be ashamed. Most countries have programs in place that can help if our debt gets out of control and we can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Get whatever help is needed, as God directs us. We have to stop waiting for it to fall from the sky. Our help will not just mysteriously appear. But it will come through steps of humility, obedience and discipline on our part.

Don’t stay a slave to debt, dealing with torment, stress, and pressure all the time. Owe no man anything but love. Amen.

Romans 13:8 (NKJV) 8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.

We can promise that you will feel better as the head and not the tail, above and not always beneath. You can do this.
