Not whale blubber. God built an abundance into everything He made. We die because of lack of knowledge. If we don't know God's relational, spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, and material principles we will be destroyed. The media is not in business to sell good news.
Bad news sells.
We must renew our minds and start believing what God says and doing only what God says. God told the Israelites that the promised land was rich and fertile. Not only that, he promised that this bountiful land would be theirs. When the spies reported back to Moses, they gave plenty of good reasons for entering the land, but they couldn't stop focusing on their fear. Talk of giants and fortified cities made it easy to forget about God's promise to help.
