"Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength--
carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of
time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties
today of its strength." - Corrie Ten Boom

That is so true. Seems like all the economists, investors, stockbrokers and banks are worrying 2 and 3 years in advance with the strength of today.

We Christians should do one better than them. Reason? Jesus is holding our futures in His hands. His plans for us is to give us a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). What type of hope? A hope with full expectation of good to manifest in our lives.

The start of the ball is from God when the wall street drops by 777.7 points. That speaks volume for those who knows God's signature. If God has put so much effort in allowing us to know His signature, it is for one thing and one thing only. Comfort!

Rely on God, look towards Him and all these things, needed for good living free from worries, shall be added unto us.

This is really a time for people to rethink on
a) their government (US election)
b) their jobs
c) their economic system
d) their obsession with material gains
e) their obsession with social status

If any suicide related to this crisis is anything to go by, they have looked to themselves and find hopelessness, they look to the surroundings and found despair - no wonder they don't have real hope left.

But we have Jesus who takes care of our tomorrows because He has been there or already there since He is timeless. Time to stand on solid foundation of faith.
