Daily Verse:<\/strong> \u201cGive your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber; save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler.\u201d Prov. 6:4-5<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s passage refers to debt owed to another person. Solomon advises us to get released from the pledge as soon as possible, not resting until we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal friends of mine will attest to the fact I hate owing anyone money. When we enjoy a meal at a restaurant together, the check gets split down to the penny; no one expected to pay more than the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owing people money gives them a hold on you until the debt gets paid or they choose to forgive it. The credit card balance I carried in my twenties caused me sleepless nights as I wondered how I would make the payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working hard and paying off my debt gave me rest. Dave Ramsey\u2019s Financial Peace University<\/a> honestly does give peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strive to become debt free, whether from money or something else. Pay the debt and free yourself from the bondage if you owe someone something.<\/p>\n\n\n

Lord, forgive us for our follies. Help us work to become debt free, whatever the debt. Let us experience the freedom that comes from not owing debts to others. IJNIP. Amen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
