Our world is being shaken due to the global economic crisis that we are facing. Many are going through depression and in great turmoil. Fears grip us due to uncertainties of our future. Shocking news like billionaires and wealthy men committing suicide are adding to our fears. For sure, some are still on their way to commit the same mistake of taking their own lives. Heard about Adolf Merckle? As reported, he’s considered to be the third comparable suicide in just less than four months after Kirk Stephenson and Rene-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet. Another wealthy man in Chicago shot himself dead few weeks ago. Is it just about money or wealth? Is that all there is to life?
What drives us to live? What is life? When we put our hope in someone or something that will not last, then we are actually hopeless. When that thing is gone, then we are gone. There are many people out there who are so poor but still manage to be happy. It’s not about money or wealth. As the saying goes, money can make one’s life easy but won’t make us happy.
Who do you turn to when you lost everything and got nothing? Let us put our hope in Him who created life, the one who authored and created all things. He is in control of our situation. He created the heavens and the earth. Only He can build and destroy. Only He possesses the power to save and to judge. Life is vain without God in our lives. We are nothing apart from Him.
