A COUNTRY GOES BANKRUPT…
I read today in the British press that every citizen of the country of Iceland owes the rest of the world 116,000 British pounds ( approx $ 200,000) and has essentially defaulted as a Nation State . A 4 billion pound bailout from Russia is on the cards . You don`t need me to tell you that the economic situation is dire ! If you have investments in the Stock Market it makes horror reading . So ,how`s your heart ? Where your treasure is ,that`s where your heart is !
Thinking and praying today ,bearing in mind my responsibilities as a Dad ,Grandad and Husband along with many Ministry portfolios ,my heart remained calm and blessed thanks be to God ! If my entire confidence for the future were in the Market ,I would be most concerned ,certainly in the immediate future . However ,I read today that God would bless our food and water and we would live a full life span . I further read that while there was darkness all over the land ( of Egypt ) ,yet God`s people “had light in the place they lived,”What is it like where you live ?
I`m not suggesting laissez- faire or casual dismissal . This is ,for sure ,a huge wake up call . What do we trust in ? What do we actually believe –by which I mean 'stake your life on ??'It`s a wake call away from materialism and waste of time and money 'stuff',living on 18- 30 % credit cards ,living beyond our means and thinking that life consists of the things we possess . It`s nothing of the sort . What is happening is actually showing us that all that system is already bankrupt . It`s cisterns that can`t hold water…to be continued….
