Our nation is greedy…
Posted by Lance Lawshe in Education on December 17, 2008
I think the reason we are in the predicament that we are in came about because of the American Dream taken to far. We have become a greedy nation, and I think because of this fact, we have become unable to satisfy the status quo, and keep up with the proverbial Jones’. I hope we soon will understand that we don’t have to have the biggest house in the world, but one that will accomodate us and our family.
A proverb a day: Proverbs 10:3

Go ahead and read the entire Proverb at your leisure, but I wanted to talk about this one particular verse.
Verse 3: “The Lord will not let the godly starve to death, but he refuses to satisfy the craving of the wicked.”
I believe this is a wise and timely saying for the times we are facing today. There are many people prophesying doom and gloom in our economy today. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer is all what they’re saying, but you see the economy talk is only brought up amongst the so called well to do.
Think about it, even when times were good during the Clinton age, when the economy was on the up and up, and the buzz word on the street was surplus. Even during this positive time in our United States, there were many people, less fortunate that suffered.
This word was for them then, and its for us now!
Now that the word of the day is recession, things are effecting the big pocket characters of our day.
Again this word is for them….
The word says…”The Lord will not let the godly starve to death..”
So if you are a godly person, and living your life to His standards, and trusting Him at His word you are not in a recession.
but…
If you are still trying to do things your own way and not trusting God in all you do. If you are working against God’s standards and contrary to His will, He will refuse to satisfy your cravings.
If you don’t remember anything today, remember what I said in a blog before….”The Lord is your preserver!”
Keep trusting God.
