Proverbs 16:18-19
King James Version
18 Pride goeth before destruction,
and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly,
than to divide the spoil with the proud.
The everyday person is not expected to be financially savvy.
And that's very okay.
But shame on those who are supposed to be in the know.
The banks, economists, policy makers, world leaders.
They've messed up.
And they do mess up BIG time.
Not only do they lose their own money, worse still, they lose that of their investors' money.
They expect their citizens to pay up.
And they keep the lies going.
They, who are supposed to know, show they don't either.
Why feel bad about yourself, then, if you're not financially savvy?
No one is privy to finance.
At any moment, GOD can humble us all.
He can take away everything, in an instant.
Only GOD has control over everything.
Proverbs 19:21
King James Version
21 There are many devices in a man's heart;
nevertheless the counsel of the Lord,
that shall stand.
Proverbs 16:4
King James Version
4 The Lord hath made all things for himself:
yea, even the wicked
for the day of evil.
We've all looked to the wrong thing -- man.
We must start looking to the RIGHT thing -- GOD.
Psalm 118:8-9
King James Version
8 It is better to trust in the Lord
than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to trust in the Lord
than to put confidence in princes.
Psalm 146:3-5
King James Version
3 Put not your trust in princes,
nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His breath goeth forth,
he returneth to his earth;
in that very day his thoughts perish.
5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,
whose hope is in the Lord his God:
Jeremiah 17:5-7
King James Version
5 Thus saith the Lord;
Cursed be the man that trusteth in man,
and maketh flesh his arm,
and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert,
and shall not see when good cometh;
but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
in a salt land and not inhabited.
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord,
and whose hope the Lord is.
