Well, the stock market continues to go up and down. Without question, it is going more down than up.  With it closing 381 points down yesterday, the uncertainty continues.  I really believe that the up and down nature right now just keeps the uncertainty going in America.  Yet, in reality, it has always gone up and down some; in fact, history still is on its side as the great investment for our future.

I am a Pastor, not an economist; however, I work with economics in all kinds of ways every day. As the leader of a non-profit ministry, I have the challenge of encouraging dollars to be given weekly.  Additionally, I have the oversight of a very large budget which is comprised of numerous smaller budgets for missions and ministry. While my perspective comes from what I do, I know that so many people are really engrossed in the challenge before us.

What is the answer?  The answer is with the Lord alone. That is right.  Yes, that is an easy simple answer, but this is one time, only the Lord knows.  Until a human figure or a collection of human beings is raised up to provide correct answers and meaningful solutions, we have no other alternative than to trust the Lord alone.  Do you think God is speaking to us? Oh yes, He is, and it is time we approach Him continually.  He is our only answer.

Amen folks, trust Him, NOT the stock market.
