Instant Gratification Leads to long term misery

"My God shall supply all your need." Php 4:19
NKJV
God promised to supply your need, not your greed
When you get into debt by buying things you
shouldn't, don't expect Him to bail you out. No
responsible parent would do that, and God is a
responsible parent. He gives you choices, and He
points out consequences. He told Adam and Eve not
to eat the forbidden fruit. Then Satan came along
and said, "God doesn't really mean it, you can do
what you want and be okay." Sound familiar?
Advertisers do the same thing. One furniture
company offers a house full of furniture with no
monthly payments for two years. Question: If you
can't afford it now, how will you pay for it two years
from now? It's time for you to get out of debt, not
deeper in. And the Bible tells you how: (1) Don't be
greedy for the things of this life, "for greed is a form
of idolatry" (See Col 3:5 GNT). Instead of craving
things you don't need, enjoy the things you have
(2) If you're not tithing, start now! You will be
switching from the world's faltering economy to
God's fail-safe economy. When you tithe, He
promises to protect your interests and bless you
"There shall not be room enough to receive" (See
Mal 3:8-12). (3) Before you go shopping, try
praying. Ask God about what you "need," then wait
for Him to respond. (4) Start giving away some of
what you have. "It is possible to give away and
become richer.[and] to hold on too tightly and lose
everything……the liberal man shall be made rich!" (Pr
11:24-25 TLB). Obey God. Be patient and watch
what happens.
