FAVORS!

He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure. Proverbs 11:15

It looks like true to the American way, we Americans are being swayed by the rich again. It looks like we will get the biggest spender in in the White house. During thees financially troubled times is that a realistic approach to filling the office of the President of the United States? Should the person whose organization has raised and spent the most money win? Does that qualify them for the White House? Or does that mean they have the most to pay back!! How many strings are attached to this puppet we are sending to the White House?

How many people are swayed by the constant stream of poles taken showing this one is out in front by 6 points and now this one is out by 8 points! The only time poles mean anything is when you are at the polling place voting for your candidate!

Another way of stating what the verse says is "nether a lender nor a bowered be". Don't owe money or favors to another or lend them money or favors. If you do you are setting yourself up for failure!

You will not be able to do what is right, do to the influence of the person or persons to whom you owe money or favors. Or your thoughts or ideas will have undo influence on another.

Come to think of it that could be the underlying reason for loaning or giving someone money or things!

At least that is what I think
