Global Markets
Believe me when I say I don't like losing money anymore than the next person...in all the financial reports on news radio today "our" (I'm talking globally) financial future sounds bleak. All I can think of is global greed. So many people focused on making a fast buck/euro/peso/shekel.. or whatever it may be! Humanity has lost their focus. We think more highly of ourselves than we ought to...my sweet husband always points to the website - "We can solve it.org" as an example - in this rampant humanism that currently exists. Haven't "we" learned? When are we going to quit making idols of everything? Idols of money. Idols of our children. Idols of our homes. Idols of our college degrees. Idols of celebrity. Idols of ourselves!
"We" are so thick-headed...yet look at the fiasco of the world-wide financial system that has been created by the collective us. All day long I've been thinking of this verse and feeling calm in my heart.
Luke 21:25-28 "And there will be SIGNS in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars. And on the earth will be ANXIETY OF NATIONS with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; MEN HEARTS FAILING THEM FOR FEAR and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to happen, then look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws near."
No need to fear. Man didn't plan very well. But God does...
