GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS

"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
Romans 12:21 (NAS)

All the good things that officers do rarely make the news. Most news stations and newspapers would rather report alleged abuses committed by officers because that is what sells. Negative reporting gets people's attention!

The truth is that you guys do so much GOOD on a daily basis that is never reported! This week, which is National Police Week, I would like to focus on the GOOD that you do!

You are the ones who stand between good and evil. You are always ready to assist, rescue, and defend. If it were not for your
presence, citizens would not live in peace or be able to go about
their lives in a safe manner.

Everytime you take a drunk driver off the street, every drug dealer
that you arrest, each case that you investigate, every prisoner that you daily guard, every domestic that you intervene in, every shift that you supervise, every square mile that you patrol... whatever capacity of law enforcement you work in, you make a DIFFERENCE!

There are times when others will not see or know the good you've
done. You may not even see the end results of your labors all the
time. But God does and He notes it! You have been appointed by GOD to the position that you hold, and HE is pleased with your work! He is using YOU to overcome evil with good! Stand proud!

PRAYER: Father, thank you for our officers! Thank you for the good that they provide for our society! Thank you for their dedication, integrity, service and protection! Bless them in a special way this coming week! In Jesus' name, amen.
