for the time being, i'm working at an investment firm. most of the time, i try to cancel out the CNBC market watch news that plays in front of me all day long. but lately the past few days, it's actually held my attention...
they did an "around the world" market watch yesterday and showed several clips from around the globe. videos of all these riots over the food costs rising. and the little icon in the bottom left corner read hungry people.
and i felt like these "food" riots were about so much more. are about so much more.
maybe this desperation is coming more from hungry hearts, than hungry bellies.
maybe the hunger they feel is for the Biblical definition of food...
Jesus.
and all at once conviction robbed my flesh of greed.
i wonder what would happen if we stopped everything for one day. stopped worrying about our stocks going down. stopped worrying about what we are going to do next week, or what we're going to wear when we do it...
i wonder what would happen if we replaced fear with safety, and hunger with peace. if we replaced ourselves with others ...
man.
