Are we depressed yet? It is difficult to stay positive with all the political shuffling, economic turmoil, h1n1, busted governments, health-care issues, layoffs, downsizing, re-sizing, bankruptcies, foreclosures, furloughs, and people flaming other people. It’s a wonder that God hasn’t decided to shake the board, wipe the etch-a-sketch clean and start over. But lucky for us, we have a God that is bigger than the biggest bail-out. He holds the key. In fact He holds all the keys and we just need to grab hold and not let go. His keys, His grace, His faith in us will spill into our hearts and allow us to SEE what we need to do to get out of this mess. We can’t do it by letting others fix it for us. We need to let God work through us and to use us to get the job done. If we don’t, our natural inclination – do nothing and wait it out – will have us spiraling down into a mire of further discontent and government controlled lives.
We, at the individual, corporate, and government levels, need to be accountable for our mistakes, take on the natural consequences of our actions, and start again. This time with a little less greed and a little more (much more) compassion and generosity for others.
It is never to late to turnaround, shake it up, and start again!
