Seek truth in the word... not the world

Proverbs 3:3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart,

This weekend, we were watching a football game and a commercial came on. I found it interesting because it was a welcome message after months of exposure to hate, fear, and mudslinging from the campaigns. I don't remember the exact numbers, but it started out showing how often the word 'hate' is used in social media on a daily basis and it's in the hundreds of millions (scary they can track all that, but that will be for a different post). Hate is very prevalent and is such a part of our thoughts and communication. But then it showed the word 'love'. The word 'love' is used billions of times a day, showing that in the end... love wins. Sometimes we can get caught up in the negativity and fear so much that we forget that God calls us to show mercy and to accept it from Him. We also need to look past the fake news, gossip, and social agendas and focus on the truth of Jesus. His message is to seek grace and show love to others and through this we can find peace. Look past the worldly message, stay close to the truth of God's word, and have a blessed day!
