The Sky is Falling !?

It seems that everyone is very concerned and upset about the financial market these days. Now I am no expert on the economy. I see some slowdown in sales, but then prices have been rising mostly due to increased fuel prices as well as increased feed prices (connected with the mandate of corn ethanol production).

I can only speak for our family, but things for us are pretty good. Things are costing more, but then I make a decent living. Sometimes I think we as a nation live so much on the edge of bankruptcy that it may contribute to the calamity in the market place.

It seems that the government assumes the role of Nanny. When people make mistakes they need to suffer some consequences or they will be repeated again. It would be best to allow things to run their course and then pickup the pieces and move on.

Throwing more money at a problem until something sticks doesn't seem to be the best way to handle the situation. In the end I am not in control. A little perturbed but not overly concerned.

I don't have to be worried about it if my 401K tanks, or if the government changes hands. I serve a King that rules over all. Christ is the Sovereign Lord. If I remember to keep my focus on Him the worries of this world don't seem so BIG.

Romans8:18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
