Economic Encouragement

Live with confidence in a sovereign God, not in fear of the circumstances around you.

Don't panic. Continue to do those things that you know to be right, wise, and consistent with biblical financial principles. Stop doing those things that are not.

Use this opportunity to take a hard look at where you can be a better steward (manager) - a more prudent spender, wise saver, cautious debtor, and yes, even a more generous giver. In the good times we all get a little lax. Crisis forces us to be more creative.

Talk with family and /or close friends. Encourage one another, share insights, reaffirm truths, and thank God together for his promises.

Be reminded that this too shall pass. We've been here before.
