There is no doubt that the current environment is mentally arduous for most of us and difficult in a very practical way for those who have lost jobs, homes, etc.  An important question for us is, “If God owns it all and is sovereign over our lives what is the purpose of all this?”  In many ways, the specific answer to that question is beyond our ability to know, but in this post on the Desiring God blog there is an outline of 5 possible faith-based reasons for us to contemplate as we experience this recession.

We would do well to consider the implication of these not only in the financial decisions we face but also for the whole of our lives.  To listen to the full sermon you can click here.
