There aren’t many things that make me deeply fearful, I mean to my very core. The current financial crisis does. It feels like this thing is big, unlike anything ever before, and no-one seems to know what to do. It’s very possible that this could affect my life in drastic ways.
It’s amazing, then, to have a firm rock beneath my feet: my God works all things for my good, nothing can seperate me from his love, my Saviour has filled my every need, regardless of any earthy circumstances. I can and will be content in him, though the storm may rage.
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.†– Jesus.
Cling to the rock.
I’m also glad to be in Australia at the moment. The Rudd Government would do well to acknowledge its dept to Peter Costello. Thank God for good leadership!
The other thing beginning to give me the willies is Google’s Big Brother-esque control of information, especially personal information. George Orwell couldn’t have dreamed of anything like this.
I don’t think Google has any intention of wrongly using the information, but I’m boggled by the sheer power it has.
