One more bubble
May 23, 2022
I read bumper stickers. Recent read (I’m not making this up.) Seen in Silicon Valley, California. “God, may there be just one more bubble before I die!”
Silly, greedy, shallow. I wasn’t extending grace to that driver.
What about my prayers. Have I been praying self-interest prayers? (Like praying for a sport victory?) selfish prayers?
‘Before I die’ speaks volumes. Does that driver know where he or she will be after he dies? Does she realize her financial windfall from a tech bubble will be of absolutely no value or consequence in her life after this one?
That’s a good measuring stick for the importance of my prayer. Will this prayer and God’s answer have any value or consequence in their life and mine after this life? That’s a prayer that matters.
