Be of good cheer

I read this verse last night, and it was perfect timing.

With winter weather and rainy days,

being inside all the time,

watching the video about about sex trafficking,

looking at my pictures of Haiti,

reading about the riots in the Middle East,

hearing one too many sob stories...

Well, sometimes I'm not 'of good cheer'.

This reminder came right in time! 

All of this stuff is happening and

there is no denying that it is terrible. 

But Jesus has overcome this world!

And I can rest in that.

He knows what's going on.

He knows what He's doing. 

"The LORD is in his holy temple;
   the LORD is on his heavenly throne.
He observes everyone on earth;
   his eyes examine them."

Psalm 11:4

Be of good cheer!
