Don’t you just hate bad news. On rare occasions Stacey will call me and open up the conversation with; “Do you want the good news or the bad news first.” My thought is, can I just have the good news and you keep the other for yourself. The last time she called me an opened up with that statement, our youngest child was dancing around with a baseball bat and slammed it into a flat screen T.V. that didn’t even belong to us. Talk about bad news! What was my boy doing dancing anyways? I understand he should be holding a bat; he is a boy! (no offense to you guys who dance) Well, on with the point; We get bad news sometimes. We do not have to fear bad news. If we faithfully serve God and uphold His commands, we can trust that he will take care of us. Psalm 112:7 says so: “He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. ” (I encourage you to take a look at the whole chapter) I love how the NLT puts it: “they confidently trust the Lord to care for them.” Do you? I pray that when you get news of a broken relationship, that you didn’t make the cut, mom/dad has lost their job or any other potential bad news that it would not shake you; but you would look to the Lord confidently knowing that He cares and will act on your behalf!
