The Almighty Dollar

Not to long ago, Nicole and I drove past a church whose sign bore the timely message, "Trust in God, not the bank.". Excellent advice, in these troubled economic times. But it got me to thinking, and I realized that even the dollar, the Almighty U.S. Dollar, tells us to trust in God. People look to money for happiness, knowledge, even coolness, but their money tells them, if they would only listen, In God We Trust. It's almost as if our nation's entire financial system is built upon a belief in God, first of all that He exists, and second, that He is in control of things. Which, of course, is true. So, what of the current financial crisis? I believe that it is only a true crisis for those who have put their trust in money and nothing further. For those of us who can say, "In God We Trust", well, He won't forget us. He has a plan.
