The one true bailout

The whole economic uncertainty has a lot of people on edge. People are worried about having a job, losing their retirement, and paying their bills. I admit I don't have all the answers. I will also admit that I don't think we can point to one person or one event that caused all of this. Now here is what I find interesting, people think that the government can save them. No, this is not meant to bash the government or anything like that. But the government is made of humans. Humans are incapable of rescuing anyone, or should I say bailing out everyone. That is not to be mean to the government. But the thing is the One who is capable of a bailout is Christ. His bailout is not a band aid or anything like that, His bailout will last forever.
Yes watching your 401K or IRA lose money is tough. But rather than put your faith in the people that are running the government, put your faith in God. Get that straight, make that your top priority. Then the economic problems are a whole lot less bothersome.

So true - our priest on Sunday actually preached about where you let your worries live - Wall Street or God's Street. Great point!
