Power, without fixed principles, is not just threatening Christianity but also the world. Power, like anything else seeking advantage over others, must be controlled by a higher power. Even the highest of powers must be guided by principles that cannot be altered. For that reason, the Bible depicts God abiding always by His unshakable principles that are the backbone of individuals, groups and nations. It is also for that reason that unprincipled leaders and their followers have ousted the Bible from public life. Without the restriction of these principles, powers grow out of control.

Isaiah, long ago, wrote that the eye had not seen nor the ear heard what God had prepared for those that waited on Him (64: 4). Paul encouraged that God would supply all our needs (Phi.4: 1). Jesus promised that the disciples would be richly rewarded in this world for their service to Him (Mt.19: 29). What doe that mean for us?

The question that is at the heart of our economy is, “Do we demand or are we in demand?” Every one in the USA should ask, “Am I a problem solver or am I a part of the problem?” By the way, we are not unique at this. Jesus dealt with the issue in Matthew 20: 1-16, “Don't I have the right to do what I want with my money?”

Proverbs 03: 5-6 states: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path.” To complete this thought add Psalm 146: 3-4, “Do not put your trust in princes (smart humans), in mortal men, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.”
