Friday, October 22 Too Big to Fail? For the money has failed. Genesis 47:15b
When the economy of Egypt collapsed during the days of Joseph, the inhabitants came to him and cried, "Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For the money has failed." Nothing in this world is "too big to fail." Both countries and companies can collapse. Leaders can fall. Economies can crater. Our most revered institutions can and will one day collapse. No single individual can control his or her own ultimate financial destiny. What cannot fail? Joshua told the Israelites "Not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you" (Joshua 23:14). According to 1 Kings 8:56, "There has not failed one word of all His good promise." The psalmist said, "My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." The Lord never fails (Isaiah 42:4) nor do His compassions. They fail not, they are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Heaven and earth may pass away, but Jesus never fails. Tell them I have proved it now in my own experience: the world fails, and friends fail, and the body fails, and the mind fails, and everything fails, but Jesus never fails. This is my testimony.--deathbed testimony of the Scottish saint Hay Macdowall Grant  | |||
