Hope - in the News???



I posted this on my Facebook page yesterday after I was so discouraged by the "News" I read online and in my local paper:

Good news wins
Good News Wins



     "Too much of what passes for U.S. news coverage these days is actually news about news, full of angles instead of straight storytelling on what’s actually happening in the world. 
 But the upside-down rejoicing the apostles discovered is the deeper resilient joy that comes from cultivating first a realistic awareness of the world, then an appreciation for God at work in it."

I have spent a lot of time since reading that great article thinking about the Hope I have because God is at work in the world around me no matter what I may read, or what is really happening.  
I can look at the world around me with realistic eyes and Hope because God is in control. I am brought back to one of my favorite verses where God is speaking: Isaiah 46:10 (NIV)
"I make known the end from the beginning,
from ancient times, what is still to come.
I say, ‘My purpose will stand,
 and I will do all that I please.’"
Hope that God knows what is going on - Big, Big picture - and He has a purpose and I am good with that because I am resting on His Firm Foundation!

So if you want some good news - start with reading your Bible, then check out World Magazine online or Ann Voskamp for some encouraging news.
