There is no aspect of life that financial matters don’t touch. When you don’t handle your finances well. Day to day, it causes problems.
Some people are sick, unhealthy, have constant headaches, and have gone mental, not because of any medical condition, but ill-managed finances. Some have lost lives, committed suicides due to that.
Two greatest causes of stress in working people’s lives? Time management & money.
43.7 million households in the U.S. have less than $1,000 in liquid assets - 16.3 million households have a net worth of 0 or less
What do people do and how do they react? – Good question Answer – They borrow more money. People are taking on more debt than they can handle We need to start avoiding the bondage of debt entirely, if possible. We are enslaved to financial debt.
Credit has replaced savings in our culture that doesn’t know how to live below our means. The Bible describes the condition of being indebted to another as a significant burden, and the emotional reality is sometimes overpowering.
“The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender”, says the wise Solomon in Proverbs 22:7. Being in debt is the worst form of poverty.
Debt is like any other trap, easy enough to get into, but hard enough to get out of. Whoever goes a-borrowing goes a-sorrowing.
Brethren, it is better to go to bed supper-less, rather than wake up in debt. The Lord will seal forever all the leakages in your finances, and plug every satanic holes in your pocket, purse, account, in Jesus Name. Amen
You will have good success this 2021.
Remain blessed. Shalom.
