Beyond the Headlines

Have you ever been watching TV and asked if there’s every any “good news”? This week on Wednesday we interviewed Bobby Lewis, a local TV Reporter for Channel 10 in Tampa Bay. Bobby has the unusual pleasure of highlighting positive things going on around Florida and bringing you those stories on the TV news. Bobby highlighted some of these stories in a book he wrote “Finding Joy Beyond the Headlines”.

Let me ask you - Are you able to find joy beyond the headlines and pressures of each day? Are you able to let the stress roll off of you when you remember that Jesus lived in this world too? The news back in Jesus’ day and today would actually be very similar. We get to choose how we respond.

Can you choose joy?

Romans 12:2 commands us to stop copying the behaviors and customs of this world and let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.

Today is the day I’m going to gain a new perspective, looking for God beyond the headlines. Then I can be reminded that He is in control and He can use me if I’m willing…

1 Corinthians 9:23 New Living Translation (NLT)

23 I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings.
