If you listen to much talk radio (or television I suppose) you’ve noticed this past week or so that some people are running scared. The economic crisis our country faces is much like the crisis some face when they suffer a heart attack or hears the dreaded c-word: cancer (or when their wife leaves them with the children for a week!). There are those who panic and immediately start grasping at any promise of relief…now they intend to make amends and change their lifestyle, even though it may very well be too late. Then there are others who, when faced with any crisis, turn to God for comfort, direction, and strength. Scripture tells us of God’s love for us and that nothing is able to separate us from that love. Paul tells us that God works for the good of everyone who loves him, so why is it so many people do not run to God? I realize there are about as many reasons why as there are persons, but what I really want to know is what are you doing about it? It seems to me in the days and months ahead there will be more and more people running scared and we, as the Body of Christ, must reach out to them with the truth and love of God, showing them our trust in God and sharing the fact that they too can have a God who can be trusted.
