Flash of Generosity
"And if the man is poor, you shall not keep his pledge overnight. You shall in any case return the pledge to him again when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his own garment and bless you; and it shall be righteousness to you before the Lord your God." (Deuteronomy 24:12-13 NKJV) In God's economy for a sustainable world, the security of the poor is the liability of the rich. By practice in some of the nations of the world, manageable food and housing securities for the poor are sustained by a comparable social system. However, financial institutions would be cautious with approving credit facilities, by managing risks with reasonable collateral or pledge. But as any credit facility without dependable pledge threatens the economy of the system, our righteousness is threatened without a flash of generosity.
