Foreclosure

This morning as I was dropping my sister off at work, I passed two side-by-side real estate companies. Both of the businesses were displaying electronic scrolling signs, but with contrasting messages.

One of them was trying to encourage their prospective customers to aim for the moon. Success, according to the scrolling marquee, is achievable by anyone if one only dreams big enough.

Directly next door another sign was displaying, but with a completely different message.

This marquee, instead of showcasing self-help motivational one-liners, encouraged the passerby that even in the midst of these difficult economic times, God’s faithfulness will see us through if we trust only Him, not ourselves.

It’s not often that I find myself agreeing with a roadside sign. But with less than 100 characters, that message perfectly sums up the real stimulus package our economy needs—-a solid dose of trust in God.

    It is time to remember to trust God in all things. Which business would you trust?

    I have enjoyed your last two posts, though was thinking that if we really spend time in God’s Word, then we will have more than a 6 hour walk with the Lord! I know such a 6 hour walk would have been fantastic, but do we take time to really walk with the Lord today? I know I get “busy” and squeak-in only a very brief ‘walk’ with the Lord….instead of making the ‘walk’ the priority and everything else subject to time with the Lord. As the sign said, place your trust in Jesus.

    Thank you, Mrs. Stewart! I agree, its so easy to get caught up in the tyranny of the urgent each day.
