A million thoughts are running through my head tonight. As I sit in a cold basement, watching the academy awards just trying to grasp this whole entertainment industry. Coming back to America has been an interesting experience for me. With this financial crisis that is facing us, the distinctions between here and there seem to be blurring. Everyday I hear of people losing their houses and their jobs, people destitute, jobs hard to find. Just yesterday I sat at the table and discussed with my father how seniors in college come may are going to have a hard if not impossible task of finding a job, competing with those who have been in their field for years but have recently been laid off.
Fear seems to be a common feeling, around everyone and no one seems to have a solution. But today as I sat in on another message about tithing but thankfully given a different perspective. At first I thought he was going to talk about tithing cause e was worried about money in his wallet but shortly in I realized the opposite was the case, he was worried about the money in our wallets. He talked of tithing as a tool that God has given us for successful budgeting. When we give our tithes and offerings with the right heart attitude are how paradigm shifts toward money.
When we give our firsts to God, a shimmer of hope seems to seep through the bleak days of this horrible recession.
It is our job as Christians to help those who are being weighed down by this economic climate.
