I don't pretend to know much about the stock markets but I do know that this present 'Credit Crunch' will effect us all in one way or another.
For me, this is great news. If God will supply all-my-needs then I don't need to worry about them. God knows and He's got them in hand. I don't need to worry about how I will put food on the table, petrol in my tank and pay the bills.
WHAT I DO NEED TO DO IS TRUST GOD
For me, when I trust Him completely, my focus is off my needs and rightly on Him. Then I can continue to have fellowship with my God and deepen our relationship. Then God can take care of the rest.
For me, I also have to remember that God asks us to supply His storehouse, so it is important that I don't stop tithing at this time. I have to remember, there is no recession in Heaven!
Even though it's sometimes hard to let go of my worries or concerns, I have learnt from experience that when I "let go and let God", then life becomes calmer.
I believe my security does not come form myself or my circumstances. My security comes from my relationship with my Heavenly Father

What a great reminder, Carol. Thank you!
Carol, this is so true! We are to put our trust in God alone. God's word shows His faithfulness of providing for His beloved.
He loves us so much.
You brighten my day,
Miriam :)
Yes, this is so true! This is something that I have been relying on lately. Trusting In Him - completely and totally.
Enjoy your blog,
Beth
Thanks for your comments. I know it's sometimes hard to keep our focus especially when times get rough, BUT if we say we believe then we have to act as if we do!! and totally trust in the Lord.
Bless you.
Have a great week.
Amen. Have been enjoying reading Larry Crabb's book "Shattered Dreams" a pathway to God. So enjoyed his honesty and sincerity and good to see what I already believe written in the language of someone else as a reminder.
Carol,
I too have struggled with putting my trust in the Lord when times get difficult. God is preparing me. . . He is trustworthy!. . . He is control!. . . We have to give it all to Him, completely. Thank you sister friend for this very heart felt post.

Hi Carol...I so enjoyed visiting you today. The only way to meet the challenges of life in this world is to whole heartedly place our confidence and trust in the One who will never leave us or forsake us.
I so liked you comment "remember, there is no recession in Heaven!" Amen! so very true!
Thanks for stopping by my blog...I hope you will come again. I will certainly be back to visit you!
Be blessed,
Susan
Despite what the media preaches, the only prize worth winning is the one offered by our Father. 'Let go and let God' is a wonderful maxim for life.
Great post Carol...very positive. My hubby is self-employed too, and it's a bit 'hand-to-mouth' at the moment. It's certainly teaching us to rely totally on God!
Thank you for your wonderfully encouraging words on my blog today...God Bless you. xx
