Even so you have to do something about what you "see" or "hear" and it can be a challenge.
The world can get you down. Especially when you listen to the news. It is hard to get a "fair" review of what is going on and itt seems like we are surrounded by a "tempest" and that we are in danger of being pulled into the unknown. The source of our information changes the appearance of a problem a great deal. News from the left or the right or even the center are less accurate than just looking at the facts. News claiming to be fair or balanced may not be accurate. Sometimes the facts are staring us in the face. The scriptures report in Mark 4:37-41 of a great storm. A tempest. Many feared the unknown. Folks were scared. They awoke the master and asked if He cared. He suggested that with some faith that they had no need to fear and He calmed the storm. Answers come. Help comes. The best solution is to find the right source for help and for that matter understanding.
I have wondered a little about what the best source of "daily news" is. Those guys in the boat looked out and saw the news themselves. What they saw was very relevant to them. For them it was not an issue of "fair and balanced" but about whether the news meant a problem was at hand. Some over the years have had to fight for FREEDOM themselves and not been able to just have the storm calmed. On the other hand maybe they could have. Maybe they were sustained as they fought and that they needed to do all that they could before the calm came. Many have, like those in the boat, asked for help in faith and found it. Even in the boat those who feared were left to face that fear until they asked for help.

Fair and Balanced is a news perception that you really find on the tube or in the paper. Reality is not balanced. It is what it is. You know what the real news is when you are inspired and concerned enough to seek help in faith and being willing to ask for a solution.
