Today is Wednesday, August 4th, 2010; Karen's Korner #1878

Maybe you have gotten the idea that I am spending some time reading through the book of Proverbs; which I am! Some of the thoughts just sort of catch my attention.
 
Today's is about money and wealth. As we collectively struggle with our national and world economy, jobs, investments, and the things which money can buy, it becomes more to the front of our news and thinking than maybe any of us would like for it to be.
 
"The rich think their wealth protects them;
   they imagine themselves safe behind it."
 
~ Proverbs 18:11 (The Message)
 
 
Bible Commentary:
"Money cannot provide safety--
there is too many ways for it to lose its power.
The government may cease to back it;
thieves may steal it;
inflation may rob it of all its value.
 
But God never loses his power.
He is always dependable.
Where do you place your hope for safety--
on uncertain wealth
or on God who is always faithful?
