Yesterday was another tough day in the market, who knows what today will bring.
Who knows? God knows.
We need to remember that He is in control and that all this is happening to fulfill His will at this point in time.
I do not know where the bottom is, but whatever we are going through, I am certain of one thing.
We deserve it or He would not be doing it.
People are incredibly nervous, or incredibly depressed or incredibly confused. How can things be this way, seemingly overnight? Well it has been building, we have just chosen to ignore it.
Look back into the Old Testament, see how God's people get hammered, time and again when they are outside of God's will. Are we in God's will? As a friend told me yesterday, as a society, as a culture, we do not know how to blush (Jeremiah 6:15).
What makes us so special, what makes us exempt? Nothing. We are not a nation of priests (a role the nation of Israel did not fulfill well in the Old Testament). I fear we are more like a nation of pests to God right now.
We probably need to spend more time on our knees, asking for His mercy and grace; asking for His guidance. More time on our knees turning back to Him.
Because if He turns His back on us, we ain't seen nothing yet.
