Day 37...(Exodus 23,24; Psalm 37)..."Good Words for These Economic Times"

The Psalmist gives us some great words for these trying economic times.

"I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be blessed."

How is it that a person who always gives has plenty? Generous people do not have to beg for bread. Could our trying economic times be a call to live generous lives instead of holding on for dear life? As the Psalmist says..."I was young and now I am old" signals the "ups and downs" of many years. In all times, generous people have enough. What do you think about the relationship of generosity and trying economic times? This is a valuable teaching in these economic times!
