In our culture of consumption we have a fascination with the
wealthy and famous. Devouring the tabloids’ depictions of all the sordid
details of their lives, we want to have what they have. But the inevitability
of death demonstrates the folly of wealth and fame.
The Faith of Wisdom (verses. 1-4).
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalms%2049:1-4&version=NIV
Together with all the people of the world, may we listen to
this lesson of godly wisdom. Our Lord, though he was rich, became poor to save
both the poor and the rich. May God’s Word convict us of exploiting others
through our lives of ease. May we demonstrate our faith in God by upholding the
cause of the poor in this time of economic hardship.
Lord God, help
us to listen to and to hear Your Word. Thank You for Your words of wisdom. Give
us faith to apply Your Word to our lives here in Jefferson County. Convict us
of exploiting others through our lives of ease.
