Till Debt Do Us Part. Part [4] 10/16/2026 (Morning thought)

Exodus 22:25 If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.

As it stands currently, we are spending between five and $7 billion per day, $306.40 million per hour, $5.11 million per minute and $85,111 per second. Now, we should take some time to digest that. That means that by the end of this Bible study, we would have blown through more than half a billion dollars. That’s a very expensive Bible study indeed. What is even more alarming is the interest we’re paying out per day, to the tune of about 3.8 billion every day.

It is a system that is completely broken, and The Lord is telling us that a day of reckoning is coming, even if smooth talking politicians say otherwise. So, if we are spending five to seven billion per day, and the interest on our national debt is about $3.8 billion per day, it means that we are taking one step forwards, and two steps backwards and we are not even scratching the surface, as far as the principal payments go.

That is similar to a person having $30,000 in debt, paying daily interest, but spending twice as much as the interest payment alone. It’s a completely broken system of checks and balances, and believe it or not, we will have to face the music one day. This is the reason why the bond markets are flashing red, because the Bible says that the borrower is the servant of the lender, and the lenders are requiring higher interest yields on their loans to the nation.

Deuteronomy 15:2 And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lends ought unto his neighbor shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbor, or of his brother; because it is called the Lord's release.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Till Debt Do Us Part. Part [3] 10/16/2026 (Evening thought)

Proverbs 22: 7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

If we do not know where we came from, we will not know where we are going, and therefore, as we take an introspect look at ourselves, both nationally and individually we would have to put our fingers on the root cause of the problems, which lead to the snare of indebtedness. It never happens overnight, and it never happens suddenly but is a secret undermining of the principles God established in Eden.

Thus, the reason for the urgency of the moment is because it is one of satan’s most successful snares which he lays for individuals, and nations. Here we are, as a nation, trapped in the cycle of borrowing, and to many who sit in the seat of power, it seems as if the only way out is to borrow even more. But if we keep on borrowing and borrowing, we will only dig ourselves deeper into the hole in which we are already trapped.

And, if we do not make difficult choices, and decisions to reverse course it will reach a point of no return. This warning isn’t coming from mortal man, it’s the God of heaven who is speaking to the man in the mirror…. [Counsels on Stewardship pp 254] All must practice economy. No worker should manage his affairs in a way to incur debt.... When one voluntarily becomes involved in debt, he is entangling himself in one of Satan’s nets which he sets for souls.

Deuteronomy 15:6 For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
