Debt is our way of giving ourselves what God hasn't given yet. - B. Cameron
Every time the Israelites stepped away from God's commands, oppression seemed to set upon them. Hmm!
"The high cost of living!" It's a phrase bandied about by us working folk who are trying to survive down here on earth. It's our way of somewhat consoling ourselves when we tend to go overboard on our spending. We all know the basic economic principle that says we should NEVER spend more than we have/make, and we actually should NEVER spend all we have/make, but the "high cost of living" seems to make this impossible to achieve, so we go into debt. It's not really the "high cost of living" but our living choices. If it's true God supplies more than enough, then it is up to us to make it be just that - more than enough. We must learn the art of contentment that Paul spoke of and refrain from trying to live up to others standards and expectations.
Until tomorrow......

"....You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day....." - Deuteronomy 28:12-13
