I really feel pretty inadequate to present this meditation on Labor Day. U3, the official unemployment rate stands at 9.7%. The more realistic measure, U6, that includes marginally attached workers and those forced to work less than full time stands at 16.8%.
We are approaching depression type unemployment numbers. The problem is already past serious in states like Michigan, Nevada, Florida and even South Carolina. It is time that we all look into our own hearts confess our sins and ask God to extend his hands in mercy to our Nation. Let us try and understand that when we stand with Christ we can not separate ourselves from our neighbors.
Psalm 70
[1] Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.
[2] Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
[3] Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
[4] Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
[5] But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
