"He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord."
Psalms 112:7
This whole psalm is about qualities of a good man (verse 5), and is totally worth reading. This is the part that stuck out to me, I think because this is something we frequently have trouble with... the whole "not being afraid" thing.
I love the idea of having a fixed heart... both fixed as in firm and steadfast and also as in repaired I think, knowing how the Lord works with us. :) And if we do have a fixed heart, then we won't be afraid of evil tidings. ... I feel like the whole media/news conglomerate is based on us being afraid of evil tidings, so we might have to change what we tune into, and what we publish. (Reminds me of Isaiah 52:7: "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation.")
Today, let's work on not being afraid of evil tidings, and on trusting in the Lord. Let's reach out to the Lord for help in fixing our hearts (in both ways), and let's not be part of the evil tidings crowd. Let's spread some good tidings of good instead. :)
