  Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of Reflection on the Word with
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Richard K. I'm Chuck Christie, and today we are asking
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you to spend a few moments of your time with
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: us each day, as Richard shares from God's work with notes, quotes,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and stores, along with some of his own personal experiences,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to confirm for you God's great love for us, that
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: his compassion for us never fails, and that he has
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: a great faithfulness toward us in every regard. In Lamentations,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Chapter three, verses twenty two and twenty three, we read,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Great is your faithfulness. Now, if you miss a portion
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: of today's broadcast or would like to recommend it to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a friend, you can hear this program anytime online at
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Talknetwork Radio dot com. Well, now, here's Richard with today's reflection.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Whatever's true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever's pure,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, Think about such things
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Philippians or verse eight. Today's reflection comes from a writing
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: in our daily Bread called accidental Wisdom. A few years ago,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: a woman shared with me a story about finding her
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: preteen son watching news coverage of a violent event. Instinctively,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: she reached for the remote and changed the channel. You
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: don't need to be watching that stuff, she told him,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: rather abruptly. An argument followed, and eventually she shared that
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: he needed to fill his mind with what is right,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: whatever is pure, whatever is lovely. After dinner, she and
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: her husband were watching the news when suddenly their five
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: year old daughter burst in and turned off the television.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: You don't need to be watching that stuff, she declared
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: in her best mom voice. Now think about those Bible things.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: As adults, we can better absorb and process the news
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: than our children. Still, the couple's daughter was both amusing
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: and wise when she echoed her mother's earlier instructions. Even
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: well adjusted adults can be affected by a steady diet
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: of the darker side of light. Meditating on the kind
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: of things Paul list in Philippians four eight is a
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: powerful antidote to the gloom that sometimes settles on us
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: as we see the condition of our world.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Richard will be right back in a moment to wrap up.
