There are supposed to be a lot of good things in our world today. Great pleasures, that our creator has provided us to live a good life. But because of man’s sins, pride, and unrighteousness in our world, problems and chaos came through. One of these problems is the crisis in the economy. This very difficult crisis that many countries in the confronting, is a tough one that need not be taken for granted. The predicament fact cause many countries to decline economically.
Let’s just look at the example of the United States of America. It is a country of high standard and authority over nations.
But now, they’re experiencing critical situation that causes them great problems. Because of terrorist attack on world trade center in New York last September 2001, there came a great shaking in their economy, that even the US Dollar exchange in the world market was affected.
Eventually, this problem also affected other nations’ status specially the Philippines, because until now, we are still under the influence of the US government. Because of that, the poor state in the country brought a change into a more poorer state. Our economy also fell down that caused the increase of prices in wet and dry goods. Then what will be the next thing to happen to us? If the US and many stable and great countries in Europe are experiencing those entropies, what else may happen to little countries like the Philippines? We can now say that, “It is God who only knows the future.”
As I have read from the newspaper and heard from my mother’s friend, the leaders of the United States of America and leading countries in Europe is having an Assembly meeting that will be about the economic crisis that the world is having right now. How they can find a solution to this unrelenting dilemma that faces and affects each and everyone of us today.
That meeting also depends, who will be the next leader and president of the United States. That will decide what to do, to solve US’s problems in debts and economy. The country of US is facing a great dilemma right now because of their huge debts in the World Bank and their payments to the countries affected of the war before. They have nowhere to go, and this is the burden that the next leader of US is going to carry and solve to. And our country, the Philippines,
as a country that is still under the influence of U.S., is greatly affected of these burdens. Our country’s state right now is getting worst. Many Filipinos are just going outside the country to find and get better jobs and salaries that might help their families here in the Philippines. This process is just in a cyclic picture that is caused by the economic crisis that our country is experiencing.
It is not just Europe, US, and the Philippines that experience these shaking, but also the whole world. Now, what will our leader, and leaders of great nations do in order to alleviate this crisis that results in poverty and chaos? What will be their solution to these world problems in food and health? And what will be their step that they will do next, to change our critical state into a better state?
In spite of all those dilemma, let’s just be thankful because there is a God who holds everything in his own hands. That there is Someone who loves us, and makes us still even though there are lots of problems in our world nowadays.
And I believe, that there will always be a right time that our beloved Philippines will surpass the economic crises that we are experiencing now. But is should start with our character and attitudes first. If righteousness will rule every person’s life, and all the people of the country, it will be the way that our nation will be exalted. And it will experience great economic recovery and prosperity, if and only if, God will be exalted first. Our nation will rise again someday, but righteousness first, needs to take place!
