1 Corinthians 7:21 NLT Are you a slave? Don’t let that worry you—but if you get a chance to be free, take it.
Thank God there’s no longer legal slavery where people are forced to serve others. However, there is a form of slavery some of us volunteer for. That’s debt.
Debt is modern day slavery. Our master is creditors. Whenever we buy things on credit, lack self-control in shopping, and spend more than we’re bringing in, we’re volunteering for slavery. We’re limited to what we can do because of debt. Not only are we limited to what can we do in our own lives, more importantly, we’re limited to what we can do for the Kingdom of God. Think of the amount of ground we can take for the Kingdom of God if we’re not in debt.
It’s one thing to use credit to get something we NEED. It’s another thing to be irresponsible and buy too much of what we want or what we can’t afford.
Let’s allow the Holy Spirit to help us be responsible with our finances and not voluntarily put ourselves in the slavery debt.
