Okay, so now I have heard it all. Continuing yesterday’s thought on faith, I heard on the news this morning that while many businesses are struggling in this economy, others are flourishing. It was reported that one occupation that had seen a marked increase in traffic was fortune tellers. It seems many people are turning to palm readers, tarot card readers and such to gather advice and direction on topics such as investing strategies, employment opportunities, and housing decisions! On of the fortune tellers interviewed said that she has also seen a very different clientele lately; professional businessmen such as bankers and lawyers. I have stated repeatedly that I am not an expert on the economy, but I would like to set aside my disclaimer and offer one small bit of advice: THERES THE PROBLEM! In reading through the Old Testament it has shocked to see the parallels between ancient Israel and the current day United States. We have not only drifted away from God, we too have turned to false gods and begun to worship them. I am convinced more each day that God has withdrawn his favor from this nation and until we come to our senses, and once again actively pursue God, we will not, as a nation, be blessed. “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

Pretty sad when all they need is a relationship with the Almighty! That's where we come in! We need to be about the Lord's business and introduce these people to Him!
