Proverbs 22:7 "The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender."
This is really hard to do in this society, we see THINGS on TV, magazines, and in stores that we want. And, instead of being patient and waiting for these THINGS, we just dig ourselves in debt. Many of these things we can live without, these are the things that distract us from GOD. We think these things will make us happy, but, their happiness is always short-lived and your back to the root of the problem (separation from GOD) So, before you charge something ask yourself if you really need it and then just pray and seek GOD.

COMMIT
Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plan will succeed. Proverbs 16:3
It is not your business to succeed, but to do right;when you have done so, the rest lies with God. -C.S. Lewis
If we commit our plans to the Lord and it really does seem to focus on "OUR" plans then we will find success. But first in order for this to happen we must first understand what it means to commit to the Lord whatever we do, and we must also understand how God defines success.
Commit to Him and blessings will follow..........

Choices..
Proverbs 11:6 Good character is the best insurance; crooks get trapped in their sinful lust.
Bad choices are all around us, from the clothes we choose to wear to the food that you ate tonight for dinner. Some choices we get trapped in and then we can't seem to let go, only Jesus can set you free from this. Refuse to be trapped by anything.

Enemies!
I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side. Psalm 3:6
If you start at the beginning of this chapter you will see that it is about David and how he is not afraid of all of his enemies. Now lets look at us. In our walk with Christ we have many enemies on both sides, but God is our shield and we have nothing to be afraid of. Our Savior is stronger than anyone of our enemies!

Run to your Refuge!
Psalm 7:1 God! God! I am running to you for dear life; the chase is wild. (message)
Psalm 7:1 O Lord my God, I take refuge in you. (NIV)
Who do you run too? Are you a sheep that enjoys going off by itself or are you one that loves to be with your shepherd? Do you call up all your friends with your problems before sharing them with God?
We must always run to Him first. You name the need, He is the source of supply. Learn to run to your Refuge!

Delight!
Psalm 5:12 You are famous, God, for welcoming God-seekers, for decking us out in delight.
Sometimes when you look around all we see in negative, but we just need to remember that God already surrounds us like a shield. Sooner or later you will see it.

Are you the Awful kid at Walmart?
Now answer me, God, because you love me; Let me see you great mercy full-face. Psalm 69:16
Have you ever been at Walmart and you see the horrible child screaming because he wants a toy? The mom/dad keeps telling the child no and well the child keeps going at it. Then one of the parents goes alright here. The child is happy.
Is that how you are when you pray to God? Are you complaining and just being plain dumb when you talk to him? What are your prayers sounding like? Do you sound like the kid at Walmart??
When you get everything you want you forget God's generosity. And then you will never fully appreciate him, you will only take him for granted.
When you pray, know the depth of His mercy. It is behind every answer.
