No doubt, there are some things to be concerned about. We have a very serious health condition that is ravaging our world. Whether it is a pandemic or an outbreak or whatever, the truth is that it is very serous and it seems to be spreading. And, every day, we hear of more and more cases and the ability of its spread.
With the spread of this health concern, the stock market has taken, and continues to take, a significant hit/dip. Some people have lost significant gains in their retirement funds. It is disheartening to think you are on track for something you have been planning for years and, then, see your retirement take hit after hit after hit.
I've been traveling this week, and one (1) of the conversations I have overheard during dinner this week, concerned Social Security and whether or not folks my age would see a penny of it. That, too, can go back to the previous concern about retirement accounts taking hit after hit after hit. But, look, Social Security may be the only retirement most of us will have. What do you mean it won't be here when I get there?
There are conflicts and wars, making ends meet, health concerns, financial concerns, just A LOT that can cause us stress, which is another health concern. But, listen, there is little we can individually do to influence any of these things; there is little I can do to prevent or halt any of these things from happening or not happening. I can protect my family and myself by practicing good hygiene and staying away from certain areas. I can try to protect our investments by diversifying and not taking too many risks. But, the single biggest thing I can do is...let GOD handle it.
Today's word is Philippians 4:19, NASB, which reads, "And my GOD will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in CHRIST JESUS."
GOD possesses it all, protects it all, and will provide it all.
Be Blessed,
