Is God in a boom or bust market economy?

By Marta Greenwood

Trying to predict the behavior of the world's stock markets can be hazardous at the best of times. Anything forecast in the evening can be overturned by events the next day. The feeling that the global financial markets are out of our control can make us uneasy about our own financial security.

We are, however, able to control any thoughts of worry or anxiety. What can break the cycle of fear is understanding this idea from Science and Health: "The enslavement of man is not legitimate. It will cease when man enters into his heritage of freedom, his God-given dominion over the material senses" (p. 228).

We gain our "heritage of freedom" by refusing to believe that anything evil can come between us and the good that God is constantly giving us.
