In the Face of Uncertainity

Yesterday was interesting to say the least.  The stock market retreat and the uncertainty of so many things was on everyone's mind.  This morning I read another blog and want to re-post it for you.  As Pastor Chris said last night, "The Stock Market losing 1000 points in a couple of days did not catch God by surprise."  Therefore our goal is to trust more and look at what is happening around us less.

              Hey Friends,

Look anywhere and all you see is fear and questions about the future! Where will the stock market go? What will we do? What is next? The questions swirl around us on every possible media outlet. As Christ-followers are we supposed to live in fear? Has God got this or what? Where is our faith, or what have you put you faith in? As I read the Word we are not supposed to focus on the circumstances, but the Christ over the circumstances.

At Faith Promise we are two weeks away from what we call a Miracle Weekend and our Miracle Offering! This timing could not be worse by the world’s standards, but from God’s vantage point the timing is great. We get to show the Lord where our faith and trust really are. The Kingdom continues to grow and go regardless of the economics. Lost people are still heading to hell and we must make a difference. I have no problem asking God’s people to sacrifice and give by faith even as the stock market rolls down the roller-coaster!

Our God is bigger than the economic problems we face. Most Christians seem to focus on the natural and the physical, when we are commanded to focus on the Christ over the circumstances.  What an opportunity to show the world we have faith in God and we will not be afraid! Not only that, but we are going to continue to march off the map in service to our Lord.

Are you afraid? Remember God holds the world in His Hand. He holds you and you are to rest in Him!

Just a thought,

Pastor Chris
