My Hope

I guess I put my hope in the banks - in my account balances. On Thursday of last week, I banked with WaMu. On Friday, my bank was suddenly JPMorgan Chase! My bank failed overnight (MY BANK!!) and was bought on the cheap by the new owner so that the gov't wouldn't have to rescue it. I thought banks couldn't fail anymore? This isn't 1923 after all. I thought my money was "safe." Where was I putting my trust?

There is a better way - I found it here. We're told not to place our hope in wealth but in God himself. This week, with the stock market plunge and the bailout debacle- we are painfully reminded of our weaknesses in this world.
