Debt is meant to be short term. If we need to borrow, work to pay it back as fast as possible. Evil people borrow and do not pay back—Pslam 37:21 “the wicked borrow, and do not pay back.” They do not pay back because they do not understand the true meaning of life. Fulfillment and happiness in life results from a lifestyle of giving, not taking. When we dedicate our lives to giving to others, we live joyfully with purpose and in union with God’s will. Looking further into Psalm 37: 25-26, we read, “I have not seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are ever giving liberally and lending , and their children become a blessing.” Living a God-centered life with purpose and vision and in alignment with His will offers long-term blessings in this life and the afterlife. A righteous person’s children will be blessed as well. This is a sure sign that things are going well for you. If your children are doing well, then God is telling the whole world that He is abiding in your family.
