WHERE IS THE GOOD NEWS?

     Where is the good news?  Where is the encouragement?  It looks like the world is going to hell in a hand-basket if you watch the news or the programming.  Movies exalt evil, soap operas exalt sex, murder, adultery, abortion.  If you look to the world, you're not going to find good news.  Legalized murder of babies, legalized drugs, legalized same-sex marriage.  All under the guise of free choice.
     When God gave us free choice it was in the hope we would choose the right, the good way.  Eve chose, Adam followed.  Where has that placed the world?  Still with a choice!
     There is good news out there!  Be still and know that I am God.  Isa. 43:1-2.  Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you.  I have called you by name.  You are mine.
     When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.  There is good news out there!  For God so loved the world, that He sent His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.
     Matthew 10:27.  What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight.  What is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs.  The world is not afraid to shout its bad, evil news.  There is good news!  Don't despair.  Look to the cross of Jesus.  He is for us, He is with us, He is in us.
     Jer 29:11 - I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord.  They are plans for good, not for disaster.  To give you a future and a hope.   Let us keep our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.
     Love, a work in progress.
