PASTOR’S COLUMN.
It is hard sometimes to not get depressed reading the newspaper or listening to the news. So here are a few verses of scripture to keep in mind from Psalm 112. And remember that psalms are song lyrics from long ago. We can update them so they’re in a more meaningful language for today.
Psalm 112: 5-9
All is well with those who choose to be generous and fair.
These who have been put right with God are on firm ground, their legacy lasts forever.
They are not afraid to read the newspaper with their morning coffee, or peruse it electronically later. No matter what ill-tidings the day brings forth: alongside the Good News of Jesus Christ, all else lacks lasting impact.
Their hearts are steady, they will not be afraid; in the end they will look in triumph upon all the lies, disheartening dispatches, and scare tactics that besiege the human spirit.
They have been generous in the face of bad news that causes others to hoard and be selfish; they are right with God, their legacy will endure.
