Economic what?

So apparently what the stock market is doing is a big deal and people are getting pretty worked up about, even those that don't have any money invested. As Christians we have to emphatically say "so what" to the economic dysfunction and fear spikes that the world is pushing for.

There is only one who provides, one who can truly change our life. Jeremiah wrote about some "troubles" of the Jews in the book of Lamentations. The people of this time found themselves in a position that has repeated itself continuously throughout history; struggling, needing help, looking all around, looking to idols. Today, if we are turning to our jobs, paychecks, friends, and even pastors to save us or putting our trust in them, we are engaged in idolatry as well.

As everyone in America freaks out about the economy and the stock market, lets turn to God and not suffer the same things wrote about in Lamentations as as a result of turning to the everything and everyone else for help (Lamentations 1:19). We must keep and strengthen our trust in God; turning only to him. After all, we know He wins, which means His way must be perfect, so lets just stay on His side.
