Dangerous convenience Online shopping

M We love convenience. Online shopping gives us convenience and immediate gratification. Our culture applauds both. However online shopping can be dangerous. That money is not due today. We hope that we can pay the attached credit card on that account at the end of the month.
V Some know they can’t pay it, and still fill that cart, pay, and wait for the delivery truck. Christ followers have the biblical standard, Earn first and then spend. Till the field and then build the house. Only shop online, fill the cart and spend, if you’ve already earned enough to cover the cost at the end of the month. That means careful oversight.
M Delayed gratification and financial stability and blessings indeed.
