News Media Darkness

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But  if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 John 1:5-7

What do you do first thing in morning? Run for the newspaper? Turn on the morning show? Drive to work listening to secular talk shows?

Darkness is all over America now and the media is continuing to perpetuate lies and fear. As a believer if you choose to start your day this way what does it do to your spirit? Maybe it is a learned habit and needs to be nipped in the bud.

Why is it necessary to hear about tragedies, political infighting, murders and the like? Does doing so strengthen your spirit? The answer of course is a no. Why not wake up, grab some coffee, get your Bible and read some Psalms. Say a prayer and go on a media fast to keep God’s truth flowing through you. Give it a try!

PRAYER: Lord you are beautiful. Your face is all I truly seek yet when I succumb to earthly fears and propaganda driven by our media I become agitated and angry. Help me break this stronghold and break it in the lives of those I know who do it more out of a developed habit.In Jesus’ name. Amen.
