Bad times! That seems to be the overused comment of the media. However, is it really true? No doubt from a strictly material perspective things are not as good as they have been in past years. But that only means that for most of us we cannot spend as much money on our wants. We have yet to reach the point where we struggle just to eat as many people around the world.
A different perspective, one might even say the Christian perspective, with regards to our current economic situation is great opportunity! As people realize that wealth is an unreliable friend, we who know that the Lord is the only sure deal will have the privilege of sharing our faith with them. As God allows our country to reap the crop we have sown, many will begin to look for answers. What an amazing opportunity for those who know the One with all the answers! While we will certainly face difficult times as well, our faith remains solid in Jesus Who never changes nor fails. If you have been praying for a lost friend to be sensitive to the Gospel message, God may be answering your prayer. If you haven't been praying for a lost friend or acquaintance, now is definitely the time to start.
Pro 18:10-11 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. (11) The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit.
