The Dow industrials dropped 504.48 points, or 4.4%, to 10917.51. AIG shares declined 61% amid a steep fall for financial stocks. Oil settled below $100 for the first time since.
Yikes! The money markets are all at great risk. These are the best of times and the worst of times...! Fear and risk were words used lots on TV this morning when it came to taking about wall street. The "safe" investment companies were no longer.
People reacted by moving their money to Treasury bills so they could stop trying to figure it out and let the banks and govt handle the mess. Sure they get less percentage return but also less headache.
People lost billions of dollars today! And yet all this wealth does not equal even one human soul. Jesus said in Matthew 16:26 "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"
Jesus warned us to invest not where Warren Buffet or Bill Gates were putting their resources but where He was investing,...in the human soul. The soul of a man is beyond the wealth of this planet and is completely safe from the up and downs of the market.
Luke 12:29 “And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. 30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. 31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you."
Jesus, instructed us where to put our main investments, in the advancement of the Kingdom of God. How are your investments doing? How many human souls are in the Kingdom because of your personal investment into them?
Invest wisely. Invest in the Kingdom of God!
