Can you Master Your Card ?

By Rabbi Celso Cukierkorn


Proverbs teach us, "The borrower will become the slave to the lender." It makes no sense that a person would volunteer to be a slave, but that's what's happening all over the United States. Too many people are registering to become slaves to their credit card companies. There is a teaching from my Bestselling book Secrets of Jewish Wealth Revealed that I want you to know!

From the Scriptures, we know how the Jewish people were enslaved when a Ruler "that did not know Joseph" took power and started, day by day, limiting the rights of the Jews and thus diminishing their value.

The Egyptians forced the Jews to endure great hardships. They gave Jewish men very light jobs while they gave Jewish women backbreaking chores such as moving huge stones from one side of town to the other and back. The Jews had to endure this labor because they did not have an option. They performed the labor because they sensed that their status as slaves would define who they were rather than their connection to God.

So many people in our world allow their perception of how others see them to define their true selves. This is why people go to a Wedding and buy expensive gifts even when they cannot afford the new outfit, or go on a vacation with money they do not have. I:8:J

God sent the Egyptians ten plagues that became harder and harder, starting with blood in the water, and ending with the tragic death of the first born. The same way, debt starts with charging just a couple of extra bucks to our credit cards when we want something we can't afford to pay for. Before long, it might turn into a second mortgage on our house. Debt can kill our future and take our house with it.

You must keep the Pharaoh away from your credit cards by spending only the money you have, not the money you don't. This is what I really call priceless.

End the American Excess and Master your Cards, but don't let them master you!!!
