Money is the root of evil, wise people say. The worst is lending. The devil uses it often, corroding away the pureness of hearts. Why? Because it is effective! The human heart does not like waiting, patience is an easy thing to learn, but difficult to master. Only the wise can see through this deception.
"My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor,
if you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,
2 you have been trapped by what you said,
ensnared by the words of your mouth." ~ proverbs 6:1-2
"So do this, my son, to free yourself,
since you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands:
Go—to the point of exhaustion—
and give your neighbor no rest!
4 Allow no sleep to your eyes,
no slumber to your eyelids.
5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
since you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands:
Go—to the point of exhaustion—
and give your neighbor no rest!
4 Allow no sleep to your eyes,
no slumber to your eyelids.
5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
like a bird from the snare of the fowler." ~ proverbs 6:3-5
