Thoughts for times of an ailing economy.

A recently headline on CNN.com reads: “Recession fears. Mortgage crisis. Jobs at risk.”
A reminder from God’s Word; imperatives that never go out of style:
“If there is a poor man among your brothers in any of the towns of the land that the LORD your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brother. Rather be openhanded and freely lend him whatever he needs….
“Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land.”
(Deuteronomy 15:7-11 niv)
May God continue to bless us with His grace and His compassion.
