When I was a teenager, the only insurance that impacted me was obtaining auto so that I could drive. The rest were an after thought. I only went to the doctor when I was sick thus life was much more simplistic. I guess you can say I was young and naive.
I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all, Ecclesiastes 9:11.
Today, insurances have spun out of control. Disability, identity protection, health and life have become nearly essential. It only takes one accident, encounter with fraud, illness or tragedy to alter your life forever. Without these protective measures, individuals can lose their life savings and more.
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come, John 16:13.
However, if nothing happens to you, monthly bills can wipe away an entire pay check. Thus, one is left to ponder, do I take the risk, bite the bullet by paying for all these insurances or do I trust God that nothing back will happen to me or my family? There must be an easier solution to this long list of security measures, but as of now, “I’m all insuranced out” forced to play the game until something better comes along.
