Today's
scripture: Psalm 4:6
Have you watched the news lately? Or visited Yahoo's or Googles' news page? It seems like all you read or see is bad news. I sometimes agree with the psalmist: "Who will show us any good?"
Our world is rapidly declining, and it seems like all we hear is corruption, hate, selfishness, and greed.
Where can we find any hope at all? As far as I'm concerned, the only hope we have is in God and the "light of His countenance." It's when things seem the darkest that I go to His word to remember that He is light, and in Him no darkness can be found (1 John 1:5).
These words give me hope. One day, the darkness of this world will end, and those who follow Christ will live in a new heaven and new earth. Best of all, "there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them ..." (Revelation 22:5).
So, when the darkness of this world drags you down, when you ask, "Who will show us any good?," go to the One who is good. Seek His light through the darkness. Remember how He loves you unconditionally.
And cling to the light that only comes from Him.
