Psalm: 51

Meditation

Romans: More practical advice: pay your bills on time or “Let no debt remain outstanding” (v. 8). Endeavor to live within your means or better still below your means. It is very easy to become enslaved to debt so the best rule here is “pay as you go”. House mortgages and ear payments are generally unavoidable but one can buy something more affordable which can still meet needs. The remainder of this section is wonderfully expanded upon in 1 Cor. 13.
