Slaves

Proverbs 22:7

The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.


The word used in the Hebrew for servant, means SLAVE! If you owe someone you are a slave to them. If you have debt.......guess what? You are a slave to the lender. It has become UNCOMMON to be debt-free in today's society. With credit, you can have whatsoever you desire.....instant gratification. Used to.....people would wait and save the money for their desires. Ever read on credit's history? Debt used to be viewed as a SIN and only the foolish borrowed.

My, how the times have changed! Will you succumb to society's ever consuming instant gratification "GOT TO HAVE IT"......mentality? Or will you break free from the chains that make you a slave?

Debt is like a weight around your neck.....chains you carry around. So what if you don't have the latest and greatest gadget or toy or clothes! Being debt free comes with a feeling that no material thing can give that is for sure!! ; )
