Cents or Sense?
I must admit, tonight I have the blues… I’m thoroughly disgusted with the Stimulus Plan and the way this country has strayed so far from God. If it weren’t so horrible I could almost… laugh out loud at those that are running around pulling their hair out wondering how on earth this country is in this deplorable state. Reckon we are IN this mess because we’ve taken GOD out? HELLO!!!
I really don’t see anything concrete in the Stimulus Plan that’s going to help the average family here in East Texas or anywhere else. My husband and I were discussing the economy, pro-life issues and a ton of other subjects while walking the other day. It seems to us that every issue has a dollar sign attached to it. Many are suffering because of greed. We are truly living in an age of excess.
It’s shocking to read reports of management living like kings when others are starving, can’t afford health insurance, etc… they’ve taken billions of dollars on the pretense that their companies are in danger and employees will lose their jobs. In actuality, they want more for themselves. It’s shameful behavior for which there’s no excuse.
Greed has been around since the beginning… but now we all can see it in the bright of day because of technology. Whether it’s a little or a lot, greed is an ugly thing and yes, we all can be greedy…but can we at least try NOT to be? Why can’t we realize that if we will do what’s right we will be blessed beyond our imagination? Whatever happened to integrity, honesty, and good character? Doing the right thing doesn’t always appeal to our flesh but the rewards will last a lifetime. Greed causes suffering beyond imagining and can destroy individuals, marriages, families, and nations.
God’s word is alive, it is the same now as it was in the beginning. He didn’t give us His guidance to make us boring, unhappy and “fun-less”. He has given us this knowledge to enrich our lives, to keep us from harm, stress and a life full of controversy, drama and anguish!!! Now more than ever His word rings true. We must put our trust in Him and look to Him for our provision!
1 Timothy 6:10 (Whole Chapter) NLT
For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
2 Timothy 3:2 (Whole Chapter) NLT
For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.
1 John 3:17 (Whole Chapter) NLT
If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister [ Greek sees his brother.] in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?
