Are You Tired, Yet?

Are you tired of having more days at the end of the month than money? Perhaps you've missed family time due to overtime ~ just to make ends meet. Maybe, your credit card bills are rising, too. Only, Murphy's Laws go into effect about the time you'd intended to keep your word and pay on your debt. Suppose you borrowed from Peter to pay Paul, then failed at keeping your word to Peter, too. Exhausting creative ideas to your financial dilemma, the end of your rope could be near.
Are you ready to give up and admit the solution is beyond your control? That would be a really good place to start. Because then, we're ready to look higher for answers.
Our enemy is the same one it always was. "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy" (John 10:10) and he can not be dealt with by earthly methods. That's why God gave us 'how-to's', like this one.
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another:
for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Romans 13:8
Are we listening, really listening? Or, are we still in the mode of learning everything the hard way? If you want the answer, pay attention.
Owe no man any thing ...
Not if the car breaks down, the furnace goes out, or anything else goes wrong. God isn't kidding. Don't forget that He gets jealous. Your faith, for the remainder of your needs, is to be placed in none other than Him. If you have a debt to pay, pay it first and don't make any more debts.
But to love one another ...

another is left holding the bag (so to speak), likely putting them in a financial bind because you didn't make payment(s), you have multiplied your bondage and theirs. And, God cares about them, too. Thus, you have not really loved anyone ~ not even yourself.
For he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
In loving God, we will love others and only by loving others can we truly love ourselves. In following the above, you will have fulfilled the requirement/met the provision for God's blessings in overcoming financial bondage.
And, once you set your path in this direction, you will be amazed and so blessed, step by step, at God's creative solutions. Your money will stretch further, you'll need less of it, and your debts will gradually become smaller. Then, once you experience the wonderful freedom of being debt free, you'll wonder how you could have ever chosen any other way.
Once we have nothing left to lose, we discover God's answers work!
