The Great Depression began in America in 1929 when the stock market crashed. This date is remembered in history as “Black Tuesday”. The depression lasted until around 1939 with the onset of World War II. I have long told my kids that we were in “Hoover Days”. They laugh and run to the mall and shop. 

I see a lot of similarities to today’s economy and the economy during the depression years. Common stock is losing value daily, businesses are closing their doors, factories are shutting down, banks are failing, and eventually one out of every four Americans will be unemployed. 

Today we have more to fear than fear itself. We have to fear a nation going broke! I foresee millions of people out of work, bread lines forming and thousands roaming the streets in search of food, work and shelter. We will soon hear people asking: “Brother can you spare a dime?” 

This is how I began to feel until one day while reading my Bible I came across a familiar verse: Psalm 121:1 

 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills:
From whence cometh mine help.   
My help cometh even from the Lord:
Who hath made heaven and earth.   
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
And he that keepeth thee will not sleep.   
Behold, he that keepeth Israel:
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.   
The Lord himself is thy keeper:
The Lord is thy defence upon thy right hand;   
So that the sun shall not burn thee by day:
Neither the moon by night.   
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil:
Yea, it is even he that shall keep thy soul.   
The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in:
From this time forth for evermore. 

Don’t worry my friends: GOD GOT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
