Decisions that Enslave and Destroy: The Danger of Co-Signing and Debt

📖 Scripture Reading

You have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth... Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter.

💡 Pastoral Reflection

Solomon depicts the tragedy of the man who, wishing to appear generous or wealthy, co-signs for another. In that moment he thinks he is helping, but in reality he places his neck beneath another's yoke. True friendship never requires your ruin, and biblical faith never justifies financial carelessness. Never normalize living drowned in debt: break free with the urgency of a gazelle fighting for its life.
