We live in a world where we are constantly bombarded with incredible amounts of information. Rolling news programmes are mainly filled with stories of disaster, death and catastrophe. Good news rarely sells!
When this current pandemic began, it seemed to me that it was 'manna from heaven' for the news outlets. Brexit, famine, wars, climate change and everything else was pushed aside for this 'new kid on the block' that has caused global panic.
As the year has progressed, I have grown tired of the news; fatigued by the daily round of depressing facts and figures, criticism of governments and politicians and the forecasts of doom and gloom.
During 2007, I spent some time writing with Tim Sherrington, a songwriter based in Aldershot, UK. This particular song came about when we were writing in November of that year.
I want to share this as my “Song of the Week” to remind myself and encourage others to continually focus on God's words and perspectives.
In a world of fake news and misinformation, God's word can be trusted.

HELP ME HEAR THE WORDS THAT YOU SPEAK
BE TO ME THE WISDOM I SEEK
