Are you ready to see?

Today may just be the day we get a foreshadowing of the financial times to come. The market will show what the big money speculators think their future holds. I am beginning to firmly believe they should not be given freshly printed monopoly money by the Fed as it will only prolong the agony. Once again I am reminded of the “stimulus package” when the government finds it necessary to give you a little of your money back to keep the economy from failing the economy as it is being conducted has failed.

If things are going to get challenging we will know by seeing many of the local business in our own neighborhoods closing up as the next few weeks go by. We will be hearing our friends and family members talk about loosing their jobs. Remember who we serve and His economy. Jesus is unchanging and is our provider. He has a plan for us in this time to prosper the Kingdom of God. It has always been our Father in heaven who has given us this day our daily bread. We can be at peace through any loss whether it be investments, a job, a home, or a church. We can mourn with the knowledge that out tears will be dried. We can praise God in any circumstance and the Joy of the Lord will be our strength.

It’s time to shine my friends!

Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Philippians 4:4-8
