The New Normal
A major ad executive put it this way, "People are going to emerge from the recession completely changed."
A recent survey showed 32% of respondents said they're spending less across the board. These consumers expect this cutback to be their "new normal”.
People have tightened their belts. That’s not all bad. The secret to contentment in life is not to get more but to desire less. Tightening our personal, corporate, ministry or government belts might be a good thing.
God’s word says: Godliness with contentment is great gain.
Proverbs says: “Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.”
and
“Whoever trusts in his riches will fall.”
So maybe we become richer by focusing on the inward character qualities rather than the outward accoutrements of success. Maybe your business, your ministry, your family will be better by having less.
