This economy is really taking it's toll on so many; including us. Nearly everyone I talk with and do life with is struggling to make ends meet. So many are either out of work or underemployed. Because of this people are losing heart by focusing on the wrong thing.
Matt 6:33 Has a promise for us-"Seek first God's kingdom and all the rest taken care of."
Psalm 37:5-6 (New International Version)
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
God is in the business of changing our paradigm from no personal experiences to God-experiences. However, if you operate on a level of rigid logic, you may never have the privilege of having the God-experiences. Keep your heart free to experience new paradigms with God today.
As I go through life and gain the means to accumulate more material possessions, I can become confused about the source of our happiness, especially in today's economy. When I sift through all the "stuff" in my life today, I realize that what bring me the most excitement and joy are my two sons, my wife, and the friends by my side who support me in my struggles and share my triumphs. My favorite possessions have nothing to do with things I have purchased for myself; my favorite possessions are the gifts that God has brought into my life.
About Me
- The Rudder
- So now I'm on my 3rd bout with cancer. I have to admit the treatments are getting old already...Life takes on a completely different perspective. Trials only cause us to overcome and emerge as much stronger individuals of character. Over the years, I bought into the Trump and "Rich Dad Poor Dad" phylosophy of the power of leverage. As a real estate investor,I used that knowledge of the day to build a little empire of over 300 properties, sub-division, and commercial buildings, throw in a car dealership, and a nice stock portfolio etc, bur now it's all gone away. In spite of all the hardship, God is good and all needs are met. I have a great family, my faith is stronger than ever, and friends willing to go through the fire with me. Life is good. These blogs are mostly about stories and situations from the here and now, but also from the there and then of life. But sometimes, it may just be about stuff. If you like it; please leave a comment.
