Concerned One: Digital Dollar?

Dear Judy,


Do you know about the digital dollar or what to do if our banks close? I get my check from the government and do not know what to do?

Dear Concerned One,

First, yes, uncertain days are ahead of us. I do not know anything about the digital dollar, but one thing I do know, our Lord has, is, and will always take care of His Children! I am going to assume you are a follower of Jesus, but if you are not, you need to be. For the unbeliever, times of tribulation are here now and will get even worse in all areas of life. But if you are a believer, listen to what Jesus says: These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. (John 16:33) 


Definitions of tribulation include “pressure, anguish, burden, persecution, or trouble.” It’s true, lots of unknowns are coming our way that we will not understand, not just concerning our money but other things in life, but the Lord is our refuge and strength in times of trouble.


I see people stockpiling food and all kinds of stuff, and maybe there’s no harm in that if that’s what they want to do, but we are to live by faith. "Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him." (Hebrews 10:38) Faith is to have confidence in Jesus Christ and Him alone, not in what is happening around us.


Many Christians live on a fixed income, but our Lord is not on a fixed income! He is unlimited! And He is the ONE who will always cause us to prosper -- no matter what the banks do! He is trustworthy!


"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7).

We are living in very serious times! It is important that we take an account of our heart. Let’s allow the Holy Spirit to search our heart and expose any hidden place of unforgiveness or offense. If we hang onto those and do not repent, we are the only one chained and we leave a door cracked

I want us to think about where our focus is. This is very important in these last of the last days! Do we have one foot in the world and the other in the Kingdom of God? If so, we are in BIG trouble because we are not surrendering all we are to Jesus Christ.
