OK, so I know that I am supposed to be talking about two week paychecks, but I really have something else on my heart for you today, so two week paychecks will just have to wait 🙂
I think if Paul were writing this today, he might have written,
If you today cannot imagine your world without credit cards I just want to challenge you to ask yourself where your trust is. A credit card makes a horrific god. It may be a quick answer, but it brings no real solution and just adds more debt and baggage to whatever situation you bring to it. Again, it is not that credit cards are evil, but dependence and faith in them will produce all kinds of evil in your life. Only God is trustworthy with your heart and with your finances, and only a heart trusting in His provision can find contentment. A life trusting in God is not an easy path, but a life enslaved to debt is even harder. We have to choose where we are going to place our trust.
OK, so I “got my preach on” this morning but I do want to also give you the promised information… actually, I am going to do it tomorrow. Tomorrow I will deal with how to set your budgetable income if you are paid every two weeks. For today, I want to leave you with this…
“Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.”
“Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, and HE SHALL bring it to pass.”
Psalm 37: 4,5,&7
