Peace is the end of all strife.
It is rest from worry. God wants
you to have his peace. I tell people
that God is not up there worrying about things.
If you watch the news, it is nothing but worrisome, with very few positive
stories put forth. Sometimes you need to
simply turn that stuff off.
Wonder why they call it the “news”?
I saw this verse years ago and thought, "That’s where it comes from!"
Acts 17:19-21
(For all the Athenians [now the
Athenians …were strangers there, including Jews] nothing else but to tell or hear some new thing.)
I found that interesting—they were there just to get “the news.”
Now a person likes to keep up with what’s going on, see the sports or
check the weather. But, the ‘news’ is of heathen
design to get you to worry more. Just
watch the news tonight and see if it’s bad news. As they say: “If it bleeds, it leads.” If it’s something bad, then they are going to
report on it.
You aren't going to have peace if you let that stuff get to you.
