Financial Bondage

Ponder This

Do know if you're in financial bondage? To find out, take this test.

1. Have you ever found yourself having to charge the things you need daily, like gasoline, food, groceries?

2. Do you put off until next month paying a bill that is due now?

3. Do you ever borrow money to pay fixed expenses like taxes and insurance?

4. Are you aware of how much money you owe?

5. Do you have creditors calling you and hounding you for overdue bills?

6. Do you make new loans to pay off old loans?

7. Have you ever thought about being dishonest with your money, like cheating on your taxes, cutting a corner in a business deal, or whatever?

If you answered yes to most of these, then I would venture to say that you are in financial bondage. But I've got good news. God wants to deliver you.

It is not simply the poor who are in financial bondage. If you are well off and you're still not satisfied, then you’re in bondage. If wealth is what motivates you, I hate to tell you this, but you are in financial bondage.

The Bible says in Matthew 6:33, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
