I cannot tell you the last time I read an actual newspaper; however, I am a faithful online news hound. MSNBC, CNN, BBC, Dallas Morning News...I read all of them online several times a day.
With the headlines these days though I'm considering burying my head in the sand. EVERY time I log on the cost of a barrel of oil has gone up, there has been a new oil pipeline explosion, more children have died of starvation because of rising food prices, we are in a depression or maybe it is just a recession, the leader of Iran has released more ridiculous statements and Hillary and Obama just will not shut up!
It is tiring. And it can cause brief moments of absolute panic for me. My mind begins racing...what if gas prices go up to $10 per gallon, what if Iran really does have nuclear weapons, what if the cost of oil and rice causes people to stop using cell phones and I lose my job. What if...the endings to this are pretty much limitless.
It is during those moments that I must log off the crazy news stories and log on to the truth...the Word of God. I must remember that God knows about absolutely everything that is going on in this crazy world and that (even though it doesn't always seem like it) He has a plan, He will provide for all of my needs and He really is all I need in my life. Take a very deep breath, remember that God is in control and cast all of my irrational fears and worries on Him.
I feel much better now. :-)
