Sleepless?

Recently I have been giving into the temptation to over spend my budget.  Two nights ago, as I laid down for the night, my mind was spinning about finances.  I finally got out of bed and opened my bible to get some sort of comfort that would help me sleep.  I opened my Bible to where I hd stuck a piece of paper and read the following exhortation.

“Why do you spend money for that which is not bread?
and your labour for that which does not satisfy?
hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good,
and let your soul delight itself in fatness” ( Isaiah 55:2).


The Lord is faithful to correct us.  Peter wrote, “Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;” (1 Peter 2:11).
