Bailout...

Senate is now trying to pass a new bailout plan after the House rejected it. Hopefully the revised 2nd attempt will make it easier to pass... There's also talk of increasing FDIC insurance from $100,000 to $250,000 so that peopleve can feel safer about their money in banks instead of them moving the money around based on rumors... which probably cause some banks to fail too!

Anyway, hopefully America can get thru this.

God has bailed people out many times... from splitting of the Red Sea... to dying for our sins..., but of course God also has decided to NOT bail us out at times and just let us suffer the consequences of our actions or perhaps even the consequences of other people's evil actions. However, in the end, God can always manage to make things work out in the end, but it's critically important that we have faith in Him and we repent of our sins. If we don't have enough faith, we just might decide to curse God and die, instead of being more like Job. If we don't repent, we'll just continue to make the same old stupid mistakes as before.

So basically whether if there's a bailout or not doesn't really matter! May His will be done, and may we all be able to persevere in faith and be holy... The only theriac for those toxic mortgage backed loans/securities is God Himself! ;) If we all acted justly, loved mercy and humbly followed God, would we be in this mess? Of course not.

It's amazing how we humans are so foolish. I continued to read more and more about those foolish kings of Israel. If I were a king, I'm not even sure if I can do better... Oh God, help us not to be too foolish in our own ways. Help more of us be able to accept Your bailout package!
