Today has been a crazy ride for the United States market. Today, we experienced the largest single day drop DOW JONES history. (ending at -777.68) Clearly, these are scary times.
I would love to give you a informed and intellectual response to the volatility of today’s events, But unfortunately, they don’t teach economics in Seminary.
Instead, I’ll give you what I know.
Thus says the Lord, “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the Lord…but blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose trust is the Lord.”
Jer. 17:5, 7
When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You. In God, whose word I praise, in God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me?
Psalm 56:3, 4
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways ackinowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
Proverbs 3:5-7
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying, “What will we eat?” or “What will we drink?” or “What will we wear for clothing?” For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But see first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
Matthew 6:30-33
Thank you Dave!! Alot of people are in need of the truth right now. You da man
Thanks for pointing this “Doom and gloom” guy to God during times like this. Its a tough world right now and I forget that God has it covered.
Thanks for the post. I definitely needed it today. It is a great time to have faith and I know God didn’t bring me this far to drop me.
