God Is Still In Control

I try hard to keep up with the news but I'm not sure why because so much of it is negative. From the mudslinging election to what seems to be a new murder every day. From cop killings to racial tensions, most of the news is negative. Who wants to hear that kind of news? Who needs to hear that kind of news? It's just a daily reminder that we live in a fallen world. What needs to be reported and what we all need to be reminded of is that God is still in control. "For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him."(Col.1:16) God creating everything speaks to Him being all powerful and in control. When the world we live in seems to be slipping off the deep end, we need to remember that God is still in control. No matter the results of the election or the climb in violence, it's good to know that God is still in control. I think we get so caught up in the negative things that are constantly happening around us that we tend to forget that God is still in control. "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."(Jno.16:33)
