Just as the rich rule the poor, so the borrower is servant to the lender. (Proverbs 22:7 NLT)
The marketing experts have convinced us that if we don't have their latest product and we don't have it now, that our lives are empty and incomplete. Greed drives many, if not most of the purchases we make and takes us deeper into debt. Many politicians in Washington believe that the way to improve the country is to keep borrowing more money from other nations. Pay attention to the wisdom of Solomon when he says, "...the borrower is servant to the lender." You might not like his straightforward terminology, but once you're in debt above what you can repay you'll soon learn the truthfulness of his wisdom!
