Anger does not bring about God’s redemptive work; far more often it hinders what God is working to accomplish. If you feel that you have a righteous anger because of something that has happened, see if you are holding anger in your heart without sin. Is your anger turning into bitterness? Is your anger causing you to make excuses for your own ungodly behavior? Is your anger preventing you from acting in a loving, redemptive, and Christlike way?"
Henry Blackaby
"Those wishing abundant wealth are falling into temptation and a trap, and into many foolish and harmful passions which plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all evil, and people in their desire for it have strayed from the faith and have pierced themselves with many pains. But you people of God, avoid all this. Instead, pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness."
1 Timothy 6:9-11
We are in a speculative mania now. Hysteria and passions are running high with greed and entitlement.
When the reckoning comes, the insiders and moneyed interests will be blaming the small speculators and 'Robin Hood' crowd. They always do.
Hate the game and not the players, right?
But they are at the heart of it, urging on the speculation, and steadily weakening the safeguards and regulations at every turn so that they can extend their outsized misappropriation of the nation's wealth.
In the same manner that they foment political anger and social hatred and oppression and riots, with a towering pride and self-righteousness and self-delusion.
Know who it is that you serve.
Madness.
Do not be so concerned about your money, that you let go so easily of your self.
Have a pleasant evening.
