I find it interesting that in Proverbs 6 it mentions not committing yourself to a bond of surety, and in not procrastinating. These are situations to avoid at all costs. I remember in our Financial Peace class, Dave Ramsey warned against having agreements made to pay for strangers if they defaulted, and in putting off paying debts. Wise counsel!

It is not worth putting yourself under the bondage of debt…God wants us free! I was also thinking about the factor of procrastination. God was speaking to me that we do not see the future, and we need to take care of what He has us to do while we can. Lord, help us all be wise stewards! Let us be like the ants who gather in the appropriate season!
