Financially Obesity

Debt is like financial fat the more you have the fatter you are and the more effort it takes to sustain it. Excess fat puts pressure on the heart and causes all kinds of health problems. Every excess pound of fat requires you to pump blood through an extra mile of blood vessels. The more you have the more miles you daily ‘drive’ your heart and under more pressure so it wears out sooner and helps you die quicker. Likewise the more excess debt you carry the harder you have to work to sustain it and it puts pressure on the heart of your household. Financial problems have killed many a marriages and mutilated many a relationship. At the root of most financial problems you’ll usually find debt just like at the root of many heath issues is much excess fat. Financial obesity is destroying the health of our nation. Can we continue to be unrestrained and lazy giving into all our appetites and not suffer the consequences? If we don’t go on a ‘diet’ and begin to control our spending the creditors will rule over us like slaves and suck the life out of everything we hold dear. So considering this entering the ‘holiday season’ will you get ‘fat’ of fit for Christ for Christmas?

Prov 22:7
The rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower is servant to the lender.
NKJV

Prov 22:7
The man of wealth has rule over the poor, and he who gets into debt is a servant to his creditor.
BBE


The PIE90 Scripture for the day is:

Ps 1:1-3
1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
NKJV
