OK... we know we cannot trust in the stock market.... as we see the volitile market going 'bonkers' today.
Our Lord can be trusted to care for us and watch over us during these difficult times. Our focus must be on Him and His love for us. It is so easy to get caught up in the fear and anxiety that just floods our conversations and minds. Just today I heard a gentleman talk about the sharp decline in the market today... while he was purchasing a used book! It's on everyone's minds right now.
I know it is "easy" to say 'trust the Lord', but for Christians that is our hope... and ultimately our JOY. Through-out Scripture we are told over and over to stop looking at the wind and waves and look at the Savior! This is NOT a cop-out, or a closing of our eyes to the problem at hand. It is a way of life... an attitude of the heart that says I am not going to be controlled today by these foreboding thoughts. I am going to turn my attention to my Savior, and let Him whisper His love in my ear, so I can rest in Him, knowing that He knows what is happening and has a watchful eye on us, His children. So stop, already, with the worrying and fretting! Get on with the business of trusting in our Lord!
