There is always good news, but the thing is that the good news is not what sells. Headlines always scream disasters, murder, corruption and anything else that might prick human interest.
Stories of disaster are played and re-played day after day. I am not saying that the news should not be reported, but that is all people seem to hammer on and they forget that in that disaster/tragedy there is always a good news story.
The good news story always seems to lagging behind until months later, it will suddenly become known that by a miracle this one and that one would have died, had it not been for God’s intervention.
Amazingly, telling what satan is doing seems more popular to broadcast than telling what God is doing.
It takes some digging deep to find the good news story, but it is there. I promise.
This is a story I stumbled on while doing a bit of research on Typhoon Haiyan.
A woman gave birth to a “miracle” girl in a typhoon-ravaged Philippine city. She then named the baby after her mother who went missing in the storm.
The girl was born Monday in a destroyed airport compound that was turned into a makeshift medical center.
Her husband said the entire community had been washed away, with the once charming area replaced by rubble and the bloated remains of people and animals.
He said it was God’s will that he found his wife floating amongst the debris.
See, this is just one good news story. If we look hard enough, we might find that there is always some good that comes out of even the worst tragedy. Before all this is over, I can guarantee that there will be many more instances where people will give praise to God for coming through for them.
