The Economy

Gas prices have gotten so high that I'd like to have one of these little Zap electric cars. Their top speed is 40 miles an hour, so I couldn't drive it on the highway, but I could drive it around town. It will go 40 miles per charge, and you just plug it in when you get home. My grandson has a little battery powered race car, Home Depot #20, like Tony Stewart's. I guess the Zap is just like that, only for grown-ups. :o)

Not only are gas prices sky-high, but grocery prices are rising, too. We're paying over $4 a gallon for milk, and I saw an article that some Americans are hoarding food, such as flour and rice because they expect prices to go up so much, and that shortages may occur. All other goods are bound to rise, too, because the cost of getting them to us is so high.

Rather than be alarmed and upset, we need to have faith that our Heavenly Father will look after us. From Matthew, chapter 6:

26 Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they? 27 And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature by one cubit? 28 And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. 29 But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. 30 And if the grass of the field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith?

31 Be not solicitous therefore, saying, What shall we eat: or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed? 32 For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things. 33 Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Be not therefore solicitous for tomorrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.

Amen
