I'm not one to watch the stock ticker too much. But the massive drops in the market has gotten every one's attention. An overriding theme I've seen in the coverage of this "world crisis" is the great loss of wealth and retirement income (nearly half of most portfolio values by many commentators' standards). Losing half of your nest egg can be daunting to some, and leave many with doubts about living out their later years at the place by the sea (or mountains, whichever your preference, I like the mountains!).
Jesus spoke these words to the religious leaders of the day,
11 If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? 12 And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? 13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. 14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him.
Jehovah Jireh, The Lord Provides--to a nation and world who frets about the economy, Jehovah Jireh beckons that we trust and not doubt.
