ARE we going the right way, are we
going the wrong way? What lies at the end of the road? Will our country attain
the security we long for? What is the right solution to our economic
problem? Do we have to keep emulating those other nations or learn a
lesson from their failures?
As questions like these lurk and
challenge our personal and collective security, we can say that ‘if others
could, we could do too’. But discipline is needed. Only I wish to
state that the Gospel truth has proposed an infallible economic solution.
First, that our Heavenly Father takes
care of us. Yet He expects us to seek and work for His Kingdom.
[Read Mt. 6:24-34]. Secondly, He expects us to live a life of dedicated
service. “Judge not and ye shall not be judged; forgive and ye shall be
forgiven; give and it shall be given unto you; according to the measure you
give, they shall pour back to you the same measure, overflowing” (Lk. 6:36-38).
If you take care and develop the little that you have (time, talents, treasure)
you will be given more and you shall abound; but if you neglect to develop what
little you have, you will even lose that. [Read Mt. 25:21-29; Lk. 16:10;
Lk. 19:17-20].
