"Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac - and ME!?!"
Let me introduce you - I'm a "giant" too - in God's eyes! And I'm usually in financial crisis, often in "big trouble" and some days, my life's "stock market" is down too.....oh, you too? I'm not alone?
The God of truth and justice sees us all today - Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, me - and you.....and we all must give account and receive our just due. Tough stuff - but before you run and hide in the garden (remember Adam and Eve?), let's go to the Cross and to the Light of His Word.
And so how do we as believers stand THERE? Big and tall!! God sees us through the Blood of His Son; His Word declares we are giants in His eyes. He promises to supply our every need; He cleanses us from all unrighteousness, He calls us His own, He gives us life. It's a gift of God and we receive it with joy.
So what about Freddie Mae and Fannie Mac.....I mean Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.....grin.....I'm leaving the government in charge of their fate - God's in charge of mine. That's what matters to ME today - how about you!

Today's Scriptures and prayer for our nation:
20:13-14:
"As the people from every part of Judah stood before the Lord with their little ones, wives, and children, the Spirit of the Lord came upon one of the men standing there - Jahaziel ... (a descendent of the Levites)."
20:15:
"Listen to me, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem, and you, O king Jehosphaphat!" he exclaimed. "The Lord says, 'Don't be afraid! Don't be paralyzed by this mighty army! For the battle is not yours, but God's!"
Our nation is facing a financial crisis. We (the people) do not know nor can we trust how this has happened (the truth) and we do not know nor can we trust the Federal Reserve, Wall Street, our Congress and nation's leaders' knowledge, understanding or motives. BUT we can trust in our God!
Let us pray in agreement for God to "come upon many of the men" - our Senators, Congressmen, economists, financial analysts, even our President (especially those who are believers, who are descendents of a God fearing lineage). Come upon these men and women who will be directly involved in the discussions and decision-making of what we should do in this crisis. Father, we humble ourselves, confess our sins, turn from our worldly ways and pray for You to heal our land. We pray for You to "come upon" decision-makers with words of wisdom. We don't know what to do so we put our faith and trust in You. We ask for Your help and direction. We cry out to You to save us; and that you will hear us and rescue us. (2 Chronicles 20:9)

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - Wikipedia + + + + +
The Mexican said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs.
The American then asked, but what do you do with the rest of your time?
The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my
children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each
evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full
and busy life, senor.
The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You
should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds buy a bigger boat,
with the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats,
eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling
your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor,
eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product,
processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal
fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC
where you will run your expanding enterprise."
The Mexican fisherman asked, "But senor, how long will this all take?"
To which the American replied, "15-20 years."
"But what then, senor?"
The American laughed and said that's the best part. "When the time is
right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the
public ad become very rich, you would make millions."
"Millions, senor? Then what?"
The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal
fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with
your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the
evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your
amigos."
