I' am reading the latest book by Pat Morley and the Man in the Mirror Ministries http://www.maninthemirror.com/ called How to Survive the Economic Meltdown http://survivingthemeltdown.org/. Pat makes a statement that I feel convinced by, " most men read the Bible for comfort and read the Wall Street Journal for direction." Wow, what a statement. All we have to do is to look around and see the results. The government is in debt, our churches are in debt, we are in debt and our kids are in debt. As I look through the Bible, I can't seem to find any thing about borrowing from tomorrow to pay for today. Even David had to pay for the threshing floor offered to him so he could worship God. I think during these current times we could all take a step back and see the Bible for what it is "the inspired word of God that is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction and for training in righteousness."
It makes me think a little more when I read Proverb 27:12
The prudent see danger and take refuge,
but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
Ouch, I think I need to take refuge
