He prefers that we do NOT go into debt. Think about it… Most of us right now have firsthand experience that when financial woes hit us, every other area of our lives (those other six areas that we’ve talked about) are effected. Verse 6 actually said something that I felt was very convicting and scary at least for the future of our children… “For the Lord God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend [not borrow from] to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you.”
Yet, our country is in such turmoil. We borrow and borrow. 400,000 people have lost or are in the process of losing their homes. And the solution is to give the banks more money so they can make more loans. This is not this.
