Many of us believe that the world is more contentious and less civil than it was in the past, whether it be a generation ago, a few years ago, or even just last week. We yearn for reassurance that everything will be alright, that God is still at work, even in small ways. The good news is that even when our circumstances change, God does not. He remains in control and continues to offer us good gifts. However, we must be aware of where to look for them.

In her book, "Exploring the Beautiful Admonition Found in Philippians 4:8 to Think on Whatever is True, Noble, Right, Pure, Lovely, Admirable, Excellent, and Praiseworthy," author Alexandra Kuykendall encourages us to continue seeking goodness even in the midst of fear, division, and negativity. Through personal stories and clear biblical insight, Alex helps us see God at work right now, right in our midst, no matter how messy life may feel. She helps us appreciate others even when we disagree with them, move past false dichotomies, celebrate goodness in others when we find it, and hope for a brighter tomorrow even as we celebrate the good gifts we receive today.

By focusing on the truth, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy things in our lives, we can cultivate a sense of peace and contentment that transcends our circumstances. We can find joy in the small moments and appreciate the beauty around us, even in the midst of chaos. And as we continue to seek out goodness, we can trust that God will continue to work in our lives and in the world around us, bringing hope and healing to all who need it.
