We talked about the economy. Big buzz these days! The presenter shared some stats. Drastic, major, quite scary things! It can really be daunting!
You know, it would be so easy to get scared, worried, and fearful of the future.
Our prayer is that we would TRULY turn to God during this time.
Is the state of the economy scaring you? causing you fear?
In Whom do you place your trust?
We are financially supported by those who choose to give. It could be very "scary" to us. But, it's not. We aren't worried. I do have to give this over to the Lord if I dwell on it because my flesh wants to worry and think about it and fret.
But, the reality is...God has called us. God has said He would provide. And, you know what, God sits on the throne!
We really do serve a mighty God. I was so glad to be reminded of His power and greatness tonight.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

I'm praying those who trust in money, even those who don't realize how much they trust in it, will be challenged by this "crisis" and will completely turn their hearts to God, Who will never fail us!
GREAT reminder. One of my favorite Bible passages, too. In case you missed it, I linked to your blog the other day--hope you don't mind....thanks for the great idea! http://cbethblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/chickies-new-house.html
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your blog.
I am amazed always at how poignantly (?) you write...to the point, and it always hits home to me, especially when it is about money!!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU for the reminder about Who is in control.
