More Bible book instead of Facebook.

  With all of the bad news that floods my computer screen, it can overwhelm the mind. The bible talks of the end days and all the rumors and stuff that goes around of wars and such calamity. Well that is going on right now.I know we need to be prepared for what may come, but I do not think it does us good to be filling our mind of the scare tactics they are trying to use on us. God is with us and He is faithful to protect us and give us our needs. That is either us being able to work to get it or other people helping us achieve that.  But He is still providing for us what we need. Sometimes we are dealt a supernatural miracle of provision. It is those times we can really see it is a God thing. But rest assured that God sees our needs and if we take all our issues to Him and thankfully pray not only for what we have been given but for what we really need, they will be met.
 
    I have to admit, I spend way too much time on Facebook. I like to play the games. But at what cost? I have found that the page is filled with bad news and yellow journalism. So much distortion and scare tactics. So little truth. I tried to get in some groups about prepping. Not for militant purposes but for learning how to store things and make things  like they used to do.Maybe I should have chosen more of a homesteading lifestyle group. I like the vintage sewing machine groups. I have a vintage Brother and a treadle machine . But I also have a new machine and an older one too.  I do pretty well about not being covetous on that part. I have learned much on the care of my machines. I love to browse the recipe sites too. There are a lot of good things on Facebook. But sadly much of what I have seen lately disturbs me.I am sickened by the filth that some folks put up. I delete them and sometimes have to block a person. I am saddened by the pictures of animal abuse. That tears me up and makes me angry. I wish I could have a social media that did not allow such things and was Christian based.I  try to spread the good news on my Facebook page. I keep up with family and use it to send messages and such to people.  But the sad truth is I need more bible book than Facebook. If I spent as much time in my bible as I do Facebook, I would most likely be a much  better person. I have lots of bible stuff  and devotionals on my feed. But time spent with God in His word, is going to provide me with something that Facebook never will,  It will allow me to get to know Jesus an to hear God speak to me through the word. It will  teach me and rebuke me where I have failed. It will give me hope and courage in the fight against evil. It will guide my steps. It will bring me comfort in times of distress. It will bring me peace. So that has been my thought this morning. More bible, less Facebook.
