Some people argue whether our nation is in an economic recession or depression. Listen to what Ronald Reagan had to say about the two: "If your neighbor has lost his job we're in a recession. If you have lost your job we're in a depression."
No matter what you want to call it, there are many people who are struggling in our country today. -- You may be one of them. So, here's some Biblical truth for us to remember:
"But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth." Deuteronomy 8:18
Our nation's Biblical foundation is crumbling before our eyes. Our American history is filled with years of prosperity that were provided by the hand of God. Now we have strayed so far off base from our Biblical heritage and we are wondering why everything is going downhill. Christians should be able to see this for what it truly is because we should know that prosperity will suffer when we give ourselves the credit and not God.
Despite our economic woes there is still hope for us! If we seek God and his plan for our lives He will not let us down. This verse from Deuteronomy promises us that God will give us the ability to provide for our needs. However, if we are remembering only ourselves and not God, do not expect to see that provision increase.
Enjoy your day off this Labor Day!
