From Where Will It Come

Euphorians have seized the day. Worry and fear flows freely in the streets. Only the incurably delusional and the insatiably power hungry are buying into the current "solution" as viable. This is a good time for believers in the one true God to exercise their faith. Faith in what? Faith that we personally will not be affected by an economic crash? Faith that we personally will remain rich, fat, happy. Or is it faith that Christ is our sufficiency in and through all circumstances?

On a more practical side, we may have in-your-face opportunities to give more than a cup of cold water to fellow pilgrims.

Matthew 25:37-40 (New International Version)

37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
