Debt Management

Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong...Do not be quick with your mouth, let your words be few...It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it....Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. ~ Ecclesiastes 5:2-7 ~
IT IS WRITTEN...if you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth, then do this, my son, to free yourself, since you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands: Go and humble yourself; press your plea with your neighbor! Allow no sleep to your eyes, no slumber to your eyelids. Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler ~ Proverbs 6:2:5 ~ Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. ~ Romans 13:8 ~

Here is what God showed me...Debt is much more just money. We can can have many forms of debt. An obligation is a debt. Do not be quick to tell someone you will do this or do that, or I will be here or there, but rather take time to pray before you speak 'so that' your answer, is God's answer.  
 
So do not say I will do this or that or make commitments lightly but rather out of fear of the Lord say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”  ~ James 4:15 ~
