Many shared that this crisis is the first of its kind and it will be worse than 1930s - "great depression". Negative news flock our daily lives. Most of us who are earning income begin to fear of the future. Even the high profile people, businessmen and employers could not ascertain the right strategy to encounter the crisis. Will this problem be solved by giving out the billions of stimulus package? Is printing more money - the answer? Retrenchment? Creating projects? Or keep every dollar we have? Seriously, I would say, no one knows...
Everyday without fail, we come across seminars, talks, trainings, news and etc on how to embrace this crisis.
I think more importantly, we should review why this has happened - the root cause - GREED OF MANKIND.
In one of the sermon, I heard a statement - "There is no such thing as recession in the Kingdom of God". If we study the Bible, I would think the word "recession" is nowhere to be found. It is us who created recession which will then lead us into DEPRESSION. God has fore warned us not to have idols in our life. Money is a necessity in our life but it should be the ultimate.
If we re-look into many of the past dynasties whether in China or Europe or even back to BC, the downfall of a kingdom starts from the greed of a man. The history should have taught us valuable lessons. However we still fail to learn.
As said, the minorities always affect the majorities. This is the world...
But we should not fret! God is ever merciful and graceful to those who rely on Him. "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plan will succeed. " (Pro 16:3). Look at the verse again. There is a FULLSTOP. Simple and straightforward instruction. No jargons, no "IF" or "MAY" but the word "WILL" succeed!
Let's us take heed what has been told by Him and build our faith in Him. We shall then rise above the occassion for whatever the world is facing...Amen!
