The only Econmic Solution is Sufficiency

Sufficiency is the key to happiness. The belief system in ‘materialism’ whether socialism or capitalism, that things will make us happy can never be reached, because materialism never makes anyone completely happy, and they will want more and more, in a false pursuit for their elusive selfish pleasures and happiness. It just doesn’t work.

Yet the only way to be content with sufficiency is to know from experience, that the Lord of Creation shall be supplying your daily bread and needs, in sufficiency. For with this faith in actual experiences, over and over again, then you realize, He will never fail you, and always provide your needs one way or the other. And all you have to do is trust.

We just have to do our part and WORK for Him and others and our own, and THEN He does the rest, and will always do what we are not able to do, and will supply sufficiency.

So forget battling over which worldly economic system will solve all the worlds ills, and solve our insolvency. None of them will, as the rich will want more and want more and more power over the poor. Its all they know, for in their hearts they would never be satisfied with equality with others, and mere sufficiency of their needs.

Be content with such things as you have, for He hath said, I will never leave thee or forsake thee Hebrews…. 12: 6b

when you type in all caps at least double space.

all caps is terrible difficult to read especially when jammed together.

Sorry, lower case is sufficent. I started with an error in hitting the caps key, and because I am a pecker, I didn;t notice til looking up, a few mintues later.

But post 2, is in lower case and sufficient..

And the background is all in lower case here...

So the question becomes, would you be happy, with food, clothes, and a roof over your head, for you and your family… and a few extra’s like a fishing rod, a plow, furniture. Etc… or would you want more and more, or would you want nicer ones than your neighbors or a bigger house than your neighbors even though yours is sufficient for all your needs.

Would you 'desire' your neighbor's things and want to take them ? Or would your heart be satisfied, and be satisfied with your sufficiency.

Therefore all this contention between Communism and Capitalism being the right economic and government system is wasted hot air and different types of materialism, both accomplished by force, elevating a select few citizens or comrades into positions of power and PRIDE.

All governments are the same, only the Lord’s economic’s of the heart will solve our problems. WHY because only the Lord can change the human heart into being satisfied with the treasures of the heart, and physical sufficiencies.

Allow me to give a few verses, not because semantics is the Key and basis, but because these words encapsulate a ‘truth’, the TRUTH.

As Jesus is the truth and only solution.

Verses from memory so might be slightly off in a direct word for word translation

Sell all that thou hast, and Follow me and you shall have treasure in heaven

But seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God, and then all these things shall I give you

Be content with such things as you have

He shall give thee the desires of thine heart

Neither take thought for the morrow, for sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Store not up things, where moth and rust doth corrupt, but store up heavenly treasure.

Silver and gold have I not, but such as I have (Jesus), give I unto thee…stand up and walk.

bump

Nah, the majority would never bump, sufficiency as the answer.

Abundance and worldly riches have always been taught to us as the key to happiness, rather than sufficiency. This even though research shows the rich, or super rich are not the happiest people in the world. They are always afraid they will be losing their riches and losing their place in society by losing their wealth to others or to conditions or to circumstances.

Agreed, this is undebate-able and a given and the only solution. Therefore it shall be deemed the economic solution and a TRUTH that can not be denied.

Jesus’ Spirit in our hearts and our trust in HIM for our needs, is the only way anyone will ever be truly happy. Only His Spirit and His tried and proven FAITH can ever make us happy with mere sufficiency.

So let it be written (and it has) and so let it be done …… or should I say RECEIVED
