A car crash in slow motion

Something caught my ear this morning when listening to the radio and news of the current financial crisis. One of the commentators reviewing the papers said,’this is like watching a car crash in slow motion’ and then she went on to say this is not only a crisis of finance but of political leadership. Leaders in both the US and Europe have failed to get a grip on the situation. As the ground moves under us and institutions falter where can we put our trust? The car crash should be no surprise to the people of faith. I am so thankful that in times such as these when things fail on the public stage and other times when the fault lines appear in my own personal life that I have an anchor that is sure and firm that does not change. As the song we sang this morning says, ‘ My Jesus, My Saviour, there is none like you’
