The Daily News

Looking for some good news?

You may want to start with Creation.

 In 6 days,

God created many good things.

He is still doing good things.

God created the earth

and the fullness of it

with a purpose.

For 19 years (1962–81) Walter Cronkite was best known

as anchorman for the CBS Evening News.

During the heyday of CBS News in the 1970s and 1980s,

 he was often cited in viewer opinion polls as

"the most trusted man in America,"

because of his professional experience and kindly demeanor.

Walter Cronkite closed his CBS news broad cast

each night with the words:

"And THAT'S the way it is!"

Walter could not control the news,

he could only report it.

At the end of each day,

Walter’s report on the day’s events was not always good:

Vietnam war, Kennedy assassination, Watergate Scandal, etc.

The end of the day news you and I hear

is usually filled with more bad news than good.

This negative news can eat away

at our faith and hope.

Each day of creation God gave a daily news report.

Each day God said,

“It was good!”

God did not give up on the earth

when sin and bad news

entered the earth.

David said,

“The earth is the Lord’s

 and everything in it.”

 Psalm 24:1

Also, Paul in 1 Corinthians 10:26 said,

“The earth is the Lord’s

and everything in it.”

God is still making news;

even though you better not expect

to hear it on the evening news.

But you can hear it,

by reading God’s Word.

Our God is not a reporter of the news,

but a controller of the news!  

Walter was considered

the most trusted man in America,

but God is the most trusted

in the universe and of all time!

God is still reporting good news

to those who are tuned in

to the right channel.

Take some time today

to look at the good things

God has created.

Scripture Reading

Genesis 1 NIV

31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.

And there was evening, and there was morning — the sixth day.

Psalms 24 NIV

24:1 Of David. A psalm.

The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;

2 for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.

3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,

who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. 

 5 He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God his Savior.

6 Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face,

O God of Jacob. Selah 

7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up,

you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. 8 Who is this King of glory?

The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors,

that the King of glory may come in. 10 Who is he, this King of glory?

The LORD Almighty — he is the King of glory.
