Psalm 56:4 – “I
praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me?” (NLT)
Not one day goes by
without the sensationalism of modern media trying to strike fear in the hearts
of unsuspecting viewers. Whether it is
the news at 5am or the late night version closer to midnight, it seems what
sells is the tragedy of human insensitivity.
From breaking and entering on helpless elders to gangs crashing in
hordes into trendy boutiques; the news makes it seem as if all hell has already
broken loose. Believe me the time will
soon come when we won’t have to wait for the boob tube, smart phone or any
device to inform us that the ‘end’ has arrived.
But for now we must not succumb to the over dramatic portrayal of modern
upheaval.
Yes,
things are crazy and people are crazier; but they surely are no worse than the
times of Lot when the towns people came knocking at his door to molest his
visitors. He even tried to bargain with
them by giving his daughters to the rape-minded mob. We must trust in God for he is our protector
and that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. Don’t lock yourself away and not enjoy the
world that our God created; be careful, vigilant and watchful, but get out and
live life to the fullest.
Every day is a good day; it is up to us to
make it a GREAT day! Be
blessed! Rev. Dr. JoAnn
