Culture of irresponsibility

Today,
President Obama blamed the turmoil of a culture of irresponsibility as the downfall of the economy. Mr. Obama confirmed that he wants to give more power to the Federal Reserve to become the Economy Police. The Fed would oversee all important institutions, enabling the Fed/President the power to break firms/companies apart.

The President summarized with: "There's always been a tension between those who place their faith in the invisible hand of the marketplace and those who place more trust in the guiding hand of the government -- and that tension isn't a bad thing. It gives rise to healthy debates and creates a dynamism that makes it possible for us to adapt and grow. For we know that markets are not an unalloyed force for either good or for ill. In many ways, our financial system reflects us. In the aggregate of countless independent decisions, we see the potential for creativity -- and the potential for abuse. We see the capacity for innovations that make our economy stronger -- and for innovations that exploit our economy's weaknesses.

Freedom of choice given by the Government...When I read of putting faith in the invisible hand of the marketplace or the guiding hand of government, I think of where true faith should be put. Whose invisible hand should guide me and my country.

Faith is from God...To chose to love Him, to follow Him or to forsake Him.

Psalms 31:14-19
14 But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD; I say, "You are my God."
15 My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me.
16 Make Your face shine upon Your servant; Save me for Your mercies' sake.
17 Do not let me be ashamed, O LORD, for I have called upon You; Let the wicked be ashamed; Let them be silent in the grave.
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence, Which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19 ¶ Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men! (NKJV)

We fall pray to men. We have been complicit to the world through it's greed and fear. Call upon God and trust in Him, to deliver you from those who persecute you. Call upon Him to save you and do not be ashamed. Let the lying lips be silenced and let stand in the great goodness of God!
