Psalm 1; Proverbs 16:20
The daily news rushes at us at a speed never before imagined. Tsunami in Japan; fighting in north Africa; disruptions in Burma. We hear about world events almost before they happen. If we let ourselves, we would stay fixed on monitors streaming the news. But the Bible tells us to stay focused on the Lord. If we do, we remain calm, controlled, and content. We are to be blessed. Proverbs 16 says, “He who gives attention to the word shall find good, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord.” This is Dr. Jay Quine. Remember this word, “blessed,” and be content amidst the chaos of the modern world, like a tree planted by streams of water. Meditating on the word, and not the news, day and night.
