Psalm 112:7-8 ” He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foe.”

You will not be able to go through this world without receiving bad news…for loved ones die, accidents happen, and cancer rears its ugly head.  So it’s not if bad news will happen, but rather when it will hit us without warning.  It’s at that moment we have to make a conscious decision…who and what will I trust in.  Will I take this news that’s causing me pain and unhappiness and allow it to control every part of me…or will I stand firm in the confidence of knowing God is in complete control of the situation?  Leaning on the Lord is not a sign of weakness…relying on Him for strength and peace is not copping out from reality.  Bad news will affect us all…but if our trust is in the Lord, we have the certainty of His firm foundation of love and hope under-girding our shaking bodies.
