To live above this world, we cannot live the way of this world

Deuteronomy 28
 

1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all HIS commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:



2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

The way of this world is to buy now and pay later.  Enjoy the things of this world now.  Have it all now. Go into debt and have things now.
 
But consider these scriptures showing us what to do, how we are to live.
 
Deuteronomy 28
 
12 ...  thou shalt not borrow.
 
13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
 
If we choose to live the way of this world, when trouble comes we will go down with this world.

In 1975, when I was born again, one of the first things God showed me was to get out of debt and stay out of debt.  This is what I chose to do.  So I am not affected by interest rates for I have no debt.
 
Also we must choose the following way:
 
1 Timothy 6
 

5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.



6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.



7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.



8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.



9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.



10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

(Debt causes a person to love money in spite of themselves.)



11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.



12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Matthew 6:33  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIS righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
 
Do the Word of God and continue doing the Word of God, resisting the ways of this world.
 
Romans 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
 
Renew your mind to the scriptures, doing as they say.
