The financial storm will pass

With the stock market crisis encircling the globe, millions of investors are worried about their financial future. Hopes for funded retirements have vaporized, savings for college education have dwindled, and now pensions are in doubt.

What disaster will come next? Fear cries out for attention.

I find that a long term perspective preserves sanity and hope in turbulent times like this.

Consider weather conditions on earth.

Storms come and go. Hurricanes have their season and then end. Winds sweep through and calm follows. Rain falls in torrents, then green pastures sprout from below. The sun burns during the height of summer, and then yields to the cool of fall.

Mother Nature is not always kind, but every storm has its end, and every disaster has its recovery.

The earth keeps on turning. The seasons keep on coming. The sun keeps on shining, and the earth keeps on renewing. There is always release, always peace to be found after the winds cease and the weather stops churning. There is always good to be found after the worst has appeared.

The same rule applies to the financial storm presently encompassing the world.

The hurricanes of fear will cease. The winds of worry and uncertainty will calm. The turbulence stirred up from greed, naiveté, and dishonesty will subside. Reform will occur. Peace will prevail and a semblance of stability will return.

God is a divine Principle that upholds all of existence and supplies all human needs.

The storms of fear and error may appear for a season and cause people to temporarily doubt their divine provision, but God’s ever-present supply will keep on appearing anyway, and not disappear for even a moment. The earth will find itself refreshed as the present tempest passes and harmony is restored once again.

This too, shall pass....
