If My People…

“Why should I fear in days of adversity, when the iniquity of my foes surrounds me, even those who trust in their wealth and boast in the abundance of their riches?. . For he sees that even wise men die; The stupid and the senseless alike perish and leave their wealth to others. Their inner thought is that their houses are forever and their dwelling places to all generations: They have called their lands after their own names. But man in his pomp will not endure; He is like the beasts that perish.” - Psalm 49:5-6,10-12

Here is a picture of a society that has put its trust in what it has. That is certainly a description of our society. They continue to talk of a worldwide recession. To man that thinks only of things that is truly frightening, but we must remember that God is not shocked at these problems. In so many instances this is due to our own selfishness as a culture. It is time for us to do more than talk about trust. We must once again understand that everything that we have belongs to Him. He is the one the provides for us. On this day let us pray that we as believers and we as a country will take on more trusting relationship with Him. It must be more than talk. We are continually interested in what the markets are doing. We should be praying that we will hear and respond to the word of the Lord in our lives.
