in thee oh Lord will i put my trust

The big news in the Uk at the moment is the Economy. the Rejection by the house of representives on capitol hill yesterday is sending shock waves through financial markets in asia and Europe alike. World leaders appear to be at a lost as to what to do next and just this weekend the goverment nationalised the Bradford and bingley building society. its in times like this where many of those who have put there trust in the financial systems will be asking questions of themselves. maybe the same question the alpha course advert asks "whats it all about".
Maybe as a Christian you are worried about your Job or the sheer cost of living here in the worlds 4th richest economy. Now we live in this world and we cannot get away from that fact, however our dependance is not wall street or canary warf, our dependance is upon God.

I'm reminded of the widow in 2 kings 4 when the debt collectors came and threatened to take her sons as slaves, she cried to the prophet Elisha and through a step of faith God met all her needs. in the natural it was bad but God show this widow that he was a true source of dependance.

In the natural its not a great time to do anything that requires finance but in the supernatural there has never been a better time. because Gods economy is on the up!
