We are acting as if our lunch is getting eaten.
If it is, it’s getting eaten by wasteful bureaucrats, or an alternative way to look at it, is that we are throwing away our own lunches then begging to the world for them.
We have no reason to be “scared” by world prosperity per se. There’s a big God out there and in here, and He can bless in ways that don’t need a “mama may I” from the USA.
Spiritual revival going on in China, too.
