The recent financial crisis has affected the whole world and the 'greed is good' philosophy has contributed to this situation. Why are we in this mess?
Luke 12:15 - the Bible tells us to lay up treasure in heaven and not to spend all our energy building our own wealth.
1 Tim 6: The love of money is the root of all evil and those that will be rich will fall into a temptation and a snare.
We will do well to put our trust in God, and not in man or in money. The Bible says that God will look after us and provide for our needs if we put Him first in our lives. God is faithful and will honour his promises.
1 Kings 17:1: God sustained Elijah in the midst of a famine.
Matt 6:19: For where your treasure is, your heart will be also - are you putting your trust in God, or in your own abilities? You cannot serve both God and mammon (the world) - don't have your foot in both camps!
Get your priorities right - seek the Lord first - and all these things will be added unto you.
