The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The Bible talks about another type of Deposit that has nothing to do with the Federal Government(Yeah).
Scripture
2 Corinthians 5:5 Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
Observation
There is daily chatter as to the banks going bankrupt and the FDIC coming in to bail out the bank. There was even talk last week that the FDIC is getting low on money about 14 Billion left; some concern about having to fund the FDIC but they think they will make it. BUT look at this verse, God has deposited in me THE SPIRIT as a guarantee of what is to come. What about a new FDIC....Father Deposited In Christ
Application
Just think about that verse again. God made us for the VERY PURPOSE of becoming more like him, and wearing his heavenly dwelling not this earthly one, and so we would understand his seriousness about God wanting us to see His greatness He took his own Spirit, came to me and DEPOSITED it in me, so I would know that there is a guarantee of things to come. I have not been left alone. And we don't have to worry about this FDIC being short on funds, application fees, etc;, all are welcome to come, and have a deposit put in them as well. My God is an active God, doing things in me. If I make my job a god, an idol to me it doesn't deposit anything in me as a guarantee, if I idolize my children they will not deposit things into me and other dead gods do not put into me anything that would guarantee something for me. I would even go so far as to say that if I run "my balance" low because of my own depravity, that my own FDIC would come to me and re-deposit into me. Praise the Lord!!!
Prayer
Father, You have given me all things, and put yourself and your spirit into me as a deposit so I would know of the guarantee of things to come. I know the cost that came with making that deposit. I don't take it lightly that you care and love for me and will keep my bank full by depositing in me. Let the things that I do today reflect my praise and adoration for what you have done, and keep doing for me.
