News Anxiety & Information Overload
Collossians 3:1-2
1Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
Most of us right now are anxious about something.
Life produces many pressures and obligations that, combined with our grindset mindset results in burnout and apathy.
And most of us realize that if we consume or paticipate in certain things we are even more anxious.
The 24 hour news cycle is one of those things.
God clearly states that we must intentionally put our minds on things above, specifically Him and not earthly things.
Being well informed however does not require our constant obsession with the news of the world which is in practice the reporting of evil and ungodly thinking and actions.
Make it a commitment to stop watching the news incessantly, instead read the Bible and pray incessantly!
Information Overload
I love to learn and I love information about God's creation and the people in it.
But I am finite and can only take in so much information.
We must learn to govern our passions.
There are many other things in life that take priority over information.
Begin with Christ, seek Him and abide in Him daily!
