Today’s Thought “Does God Watch the News?” G. Ward

Matthew 6:8 “So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.”

The visual society in mankind’s supplication will mostly consider strong pleas of immediate help when turmoil persists (Pr.1:24-29), as if to say trouble in earth is not permissible. Moreover, its exhibition forgets Holy God truly remains “all knowing.” Reverence for HIM understands HIS transcendence, never presuming that HE’S anything like man (Isa.55:8-9). HIS universal mercy and love is beyond the scope of geographical lines; insisting HIS children’s compliance in adopting brethren without parameter (Jn.3:16). When sectarian pursuits in spirituality (i.e. me and mine syndrome) has become the practice for any man, peace will never live there (*cf. 1 Thess.5:3).
