One day, the Pastor sees Mathew slowly walking out of Church, head hanging low. "What troubles you, my son?" asked the concerned priest. "Well, Father," replies Mathew, "I lost my job, I have $75,000 in credit card debt, and I am six months behind on my mortgage. I just don't know what I am going to do."
The faithful priest, trying to inspire hope in the young man, proclaims "Trust in God, my son. Go and find the answers you seek in His holy word, the Bible. There He will lead you to salvation."
Four months later, the Pastor sees Mathew waling out of Church, head held high. "You seem in much better spirits, did you follow my advise?" questioned the priest.
"I did, father" replied the relieved young man, "I went home that night, dusted off my Bible, and the first phrase that I opened it to read... Mathew Chapter 7"
