Becoming responsible for someone else’s obligations means you must pay them. Culturally at this time, taking someone’s garment means you accepted their debt.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The “one” for whom this person took responsibility is called “a stranger”\u2014probably meaning other members of society.” Expositor’s Bible Commentary<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In college, my mom paid off the $1000 car note I had to give me a leg up. Instead of making the best of the opportunity, I incurred more debt. Although Mom had good intentions, assuming my debt hurt me instead of helping me. She learned from her mistake and didn’t do it again. As a result, I learned financial principles and became fiscally responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Applying Biblical principles to finances will help us grow in more ways than one. Practicing self-control through budgeting will develop our character and help us become fiscally responsible with God’s blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n Lord, forgive us for our poor financial decisions. Help us learn and apply Your principles to our lives, becoming fiscally responsible as we do. Thank You for providing for us; let us manage our blessings well. IJNIP.
