Who needs faith? I’ve got credit cards!

Believe it or not, people survived for thousands of years without them. I will bet that they had situations arise where they really wanted something or really needed something but at the moment didn’t have the means to pay for it. They didn’t have the “escape route” that we have today with credit cards.

Phil4.19 says,”And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

I can’t say that there is never a situation to use a credit card, but how often is God wanting to do a miracle in our lives and provide for us like He promised and we just take the easy way out?

“And without faith it is impossible to please Him…”Heb11.6

What would happen if we decided that no matter how bad things looked, we would not put our trust in our credit cards, but we would trust that God will take care of each and every one of our needs?

I think He would be pleased.

Hi! I’m lovin your post today! Great stuff! Too many people just don’t realize the potential for catastrophe that credit cards get them into. Have you looked into Crown Financial’s biblical principals for money management? You should. Great stuff there too.

That is a good point. I’ve already cut one of my cards in half. The other one (yes, I only have two) is locked in a safe in my closet.
