Who are you gonna believe? Tough question, but this is reality. If you think fake news isn’t happening, you might want to think again. You can be positive or negative, hopeful or full of anxiety.
The issue around the pandemic seems to heighten with every new press briefing and announcement from each governor. COVID-19 does really change every day with more cases and more deaths, yet I also hear good news from many different directions that lift me and encourage me to go forward.
Like… I saw news this morning that there were fewer deaths overnight than were expected.
Like… I read a story about an elderly lady somewhere who chose to give her support to others in the middle of her own health crisis.
Like… I have heard stories of many churches that have stepped up to serve in their perspective communities.
Like… I have seen our local non-profits begin to partner in stronger and better ways than in the past.
Like… Our own church has found some ways to give, share truth, and be a blessing in new ways as well as upping our already going ministries (not sharing the particulars because we are not looking to pat ourselves on the back).
Who am I going to believe? I will look to God no matter the situation or the pandemic or the negative, dark outlook or the view from the mountaintop or the valley. My help and truth comes from God.
Psalm 121:2 NLT
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!
Genesis 15:6 NLT
And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.
Romans 10:11 NLT
As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”
