Have you noticed that advertisers have turned to techniques where they use this so-called recession to promote their products or services? I just saw this recently on an advertisement:
“recession friendly pricing…”
Why is it so often we take bad news…we take the very worst…and we bring that to the forefront of our lives. If you watch the news or read a newspaper, so often the top news items are about death, destruction, and devastation. Look at this from the book of Job.
Job 3:25
For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me,
And what I dreaded has happened to me.
I’m so guilty of this. I worry. I stress out about things that I cannot control. We need to get to the place where worry and fear do not control us. Jesus commanded us saying, “do not worry”.
