Is There a Word From the Lord?

Hello again!
I got to thinking about all the economic mess that our country--the world, really--is in. It's complicated, and I certainly don't know much about the whole field of economics. I started to wonder, though, if there is anything in the Bible--which I believe is the written Word of God--that might give us some food for thought about what's going on these days.

Here are a few passages to stimulate our thinking about whether or not there might be a "word from the Lord" about what's going on:

Isaiah 10:1-4--unjust laws that oppress the poor
Jeremiah 22:3--Do what is just and right.
Zechariah 7:9-10--justice, mercy, compassion; don't oppress the poor
Malachi 3:5
Leviticus 25:8-55; 27:22-25--Jubilee (It's long, but worth the read.)
Exodus 22:25-27; Deuteronomy 24:10-13; Luke 6:34-36--about lending
Deuteronomy 15:1-11--about canceling debts
Luke 14:28-30--"Count the cost."

Happy reading! Let me know what you think the Lord might be saying to us in our situation through those passages.

I'm off to Ohio to officiate a wedding for an old friend of ours. Pray for a safe trip for us!
