To watch the news is to live in fear.

Local news reports on the latest violence in your neighborhood. National and international news speak of the latest bombings and threats of war.

Who could blame you for hiding under the covers, paralyzed by this world so out of control?

But no matter how oppressive it feels, fear is usually a trick of the mind. It’s really triggered, or shut down, by what you choose to focus on.

What… or whom… are you focusing on? More importantly, whom do you trust?

The Bible is a newscast.

It doesn’t hide the bad news, but it also delivers Good News. The best news. In a world so out of control, it broadcasts the headline that we have nothing to fear. It narrows our focus on the God above all things; the One we can trust. We must keep our eyes on the God who strengthens us and who can deliver us from this dangerous world.

Trust in this holy and loving God who is your light and salvation. This can give you great courage to handle any seemingly impossible situation with God’s countless solutions.
