Should these just be comforting messages?

Morning: Psalms 93, 96; Jeremiah 6:9-15; I Corinthians 6:12-20
Evening: Psalm 34: Mark 5:1-20
A true prophet tells it like it is!  But sometimes even prophets, and priests, deal falsely, saying “Peace, peace!” where there is no peace.  Real comfort only comes from first acknowledging where we are broken, not by ignoring wounds that will fester when left unattended.  Paul is right … we suffer when we forget our bodies are sacred.  Jesus serves the truth when he heals a man possessed by lies.  What trouble are you dealing with?  What is the world’s trouble?  Shall we simply gloss over these things?  They are exactly the places where God wants to bring peace.
