Last night on the news, I watched a report how retail sales are down significantly. I thought to myself, "That's a good thing. Maybe our excessive American tendencies are being put in check in the midst of this recession." The major point of the news story was that massive layoffs are taking place among retail stores now as well. I though to myself, "That's not a good thing. I don't like it when people lose jobs."
I can't help but find myself asking and wrestling with some deeper questions in the midst of this economic crisis:
As a follower of Christ, is this the most important issue right now, or is it the most urgent?
Although this is filled with uncertainty, pain, and loss, is this exactly what we need?
How much have I become dependent on things over God?
Is this a time I should cut back on giving, or should I actually be looking for more ways to give?
