I forget now how many trillion we are in debt but my kids, kids, kids probably won't pay it off. Why are we facing such an economic calamity? Obviously I believe spiritual reasons are paramount. A speaker in our church on Wednesday night shared a verse of Scripture with us that blew me away:
The Lord will open for you His abundant storehouse, the sky, to give your land rain in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. Deuteronomy 28:12 (HCSB)
Note the underlined portion of the verse. This text is taken from a chapter in which God reminds Israel of the blessings of obedience and the curses for disobedience. One of Yahweh's great blessings for obedience is that the nation would have all it needed plus much more. The blessings would so overflow that Israel would be able to share its blessings with others.
For the nation that disobeys:
He will lend to you, but you won’t lend to him. He will be the head, and you will be the tail. Deuteronomy 28:44 (HCSB)
Who is the head now? China?
Just musing.
