With the $700 billion bailout being voted down (and rightly so) the stock market took the largest plunge downward since 9-11-01.
Question, is your faith wavering? Are you being overwhelmed with fear? I trust you are not, because the "source" for all our needs is the Lord, not the Dow Jones! Philippians 4:19 (HCSB) And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
With money and finances being on everyone's mind as of late, I thought I would post some humor and zingers concerning money. Enjoy, and remember, in these days of uncertainty, look to the Lord, He is faithful!
JOKE: The apostle Peter writes: "But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day" (2 Peter 3:8 NRSV).
An economist who read this passage was quite amazed and talked to God about it. "Lord, is it true that a thousand years for us is like one minute to you?"
The Lord said yes.
The economist said, "Then a million dollars to us must be like one penny to you."
The Lord said, "Well, yes."
The economist said, "Will you give me one of those pennies?"
The Lord said, "All right, I will. Wait here a minute."
