Good Morning, God,
The sign said, "We are Citizens United." It was being carried by a well-dressed man involved with the "Wall Street Protestors," now moving into the "Occupy Protestors." These Occupy Protestors are gathering in front of the homes of billionaires and milliionaires to protest the "hoarding of wealth" that these business men and women do. The comment is that the horading is done "at the expense of the 99% rest of us."
Lord, your wisdom is really needed here. You word tells us that in the ealy Christian Community, there was not "need" because folks shared and shared alike. Your word tells us to watch over the widows and orphans. Your word also instructs us that, if we are able, we need to work and support ourselves and others.
Lord, society says we are in the "Me" generation, a "Capitalistic society," a society that encourages making money, spending it and making more money.
Lord, give us the desire to work, share, and care for others as our end goal.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
