Promised Land Economy
God gave Israel
us
an economy
which
as in Eden Unburied
nobody really wants to live in even though it is perfect for
us.
It is perfect for
us.
The deception: Something else is better for
me.
The truth:
what is best for us
is
best for me.
Our fallen hearts, though, adopt a “me first” mentality. Some thought systems
lift up as
valuable, sacred, Edenic the “me first” motivation. Some people think that “me first” should be the defining value of the economy that “me first” thinking alone will bring good to us. “Me first.” “My family first.” “My country first.” “Me first” in any form is not a virtue. As my father used to say, “It is a lie of the devil straight from the pit of hell.”
“Me first” in no way is part of the economy God offers us.
