Faith....

So everything about our economy is not looking very good. The dow finished up yesterday (I think I heard 552+) but today, as CNN put it, it is in a "nosedive" again. The experts say that if GM fails, it will be a domino effect, "it rapidly takes out all the other dominoes." Scary. by some standards yes. My parents I think are very stressed as their retirement is in the stock market. But through it all, while it is a bit overwhelming at times, I am just not stressed about it. God says so much about money and life, I just cant worry about it. Hebrews 11:1 says "Faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see." Gods painting this wonderful picture that none of know what it is going to look like when all is said and done, but He knows why our economy is not doing well. Faith is coming to total darkness and not knowing whats ahead, but walking forward knowing that there will either be solid ground to walk on, God will catch you, or you will learn to fly. God is not going to let you hit the bottom. His plan is greater than we could ever know. On top of faith, He says very clearly in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." These are just 2 of hundreds of examples of where God tells each of us not to worry. His plans for us are greater than we could ever imagine.

So here I am, following his plan for my life. I am in school and not going to worry about the economy or money. I am going to live by faith knowing He will provide for me today and tomorrow as he has every day before. What about you?
