.His Mercy is New everY mornInG.
The past is suppose to stay where it supposed to be. That's right. It should stay in the past. No point bringing it up over and over again. Paul said "..Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,
I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. "
Our past sins have been forgiven. It is as if these sins were never committed. Why? Because Jesus Christ has paid for these sins. By the way, sin is disobedience towards God. Unbelieving, ungodliness, unrighteousness are sins.
Galatians 5:19-21
When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures,
idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division,
envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Thank God that Jesus' precious blood has washed all these away when we repent and believe in Jesus.
The life in Jesus (Christian's life) is a high level of life. People in the world (unbelievers) strive, fight and plan in vain. No one to rely on but their own self. Rising and falling of stock market is parralled with rising and falling of blood pressure, heart problems etc. Wealth comes in expense of health, family and friends. In the end, what is the purpose of living? To earn money and more money? So They've met their target. What's next?
Believers lead a high level of life where there is peace within that surpases all understanding. Even when news of disasters, terrorist attacks, wars and rumors of wars are hitting us, we will not fear. No, it's not like we telling ourselves "don't be scared coz we are in sg. They won't come to this place." But there fear has been taken away by our God! Peace and joy and thanksgiving replace it. Assuredly I say, if war breaks out in middle east (which will come to pass soon), economy around the world will suffered. Where do the oils from?
Jesus is our God. He has prospered His people - both gentiles (non jews) and Jews alike. Not only spiritually but also physically (i.e. the MOneY!). He causes us to have favour among our friends and colleagues.
Examples?Look at Jewish people. To name a few, Roman Abramovich, Michael Dell (founder of dell computer), George Soros, etc etc

I believe these people are the evident of God's blessing on their financial side.
