I want to see you go from the land of lack to the land of even, and on to prosperity. I’m sharing this with you today because I don’t want you to get stuck. I want you to get from where you are to where you are called to be. You are an overcomer (Romans 8:37). I continue to pray for God’s release of miraculous favor on your life but also for you to work like everything depends on YOU to get out of debt.
Speak To The Situation
In 1 Samuel 17:26-51, David went to meet Goliath, and he didn’t approach the situation like everyone else. He didn’t use fancy weaponry like the skilled soldiers around him (1 Samuel 17:38-39), he used tools HE was used to which were five smooth stones (1 Samuel 17:40). He didn’t tackle the task like those around him who were reacting in fear; he stepped out in faith. Before he released anything out of his hand, he opened his mouth and spoke to the situation and claimed success (1 Samuel 17:45-47).
David Picked Up Five Stones. Here Are Some For You:
1. Make a detailed budget of your monthly living expenses and track what you spend
2. Identify areas you can cut back. Cable. Nails. Gadgets. Credit. Eating Out.
3. Create a vision to describe what it will look like when your family is debt free to help your spouse and kids to get excited and to support the cutbacks.
4. Pray daily over your budget and list of debts. Speak to the debt like David spoke to Goliath.
5. Watch Dave Ramsey YouTube videos or others to reprogram your thinking and to keep the vision hot. Listen to others’ stories about getting debt free and stay focused and on target. David had laser-focus, and we need to do this daily to stay the course.
Be Encouraged
All you need is one clear vision and five smooth stones to pave the way to freedom. How are you paving the way for your legacy today? I call you blessed! Amen!
