What is the Good News from a Far Country Like?

What is the Good News from a Far Country Like?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who receive good news from a far country. In Jesus’s name, amen.

How refreshing it is to drink cold water on a hot day.

The notes for Proverbs 25:25 in the English Standard Bible tell us,
“Good news that comes from a far country is unexpected and revitalizing.”

Proverbs 25:25 (ESV) is a metaphor comparing cold water and good news.

“Like cold water to a thirsty soul,
so is good news from a far country.”

Think of a thirsty soul. When New Testament believers think of Good News, they think of the life, death, resurrection, and Christ’s power to save the lost. This message is revitalizing.

Let it have its effect.

Happy New Year! Are You Sealed with the Promise?

Happy New Year! Are You Sealed with the Promise?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who heard the word of truth, believed in Jesus, and were sealed with the promise of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Think how amazing the senses are. Take a moment. Stop and reflect upon your sense of taste, smell, touch, hearing, and sight. Think about the first time you heard about Jesus. How many of your senses were involved?

Ephesians 1:13-14 (ESV) describes what happens when believers heard the Good News.

“In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.”

Have you believed in Jesus? If you have not, consider accepting Jesus as your personal savior now. Pray and ask Jesus to come into your heart. If you do, you can start the New Year born again.

The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, first came upon believers on the day of Pentecost. As the scripture says, the Holy Spirit guarantees believer’s inheritance. As believers,, yours is guaranteed. Rejoice!

What Can Man Do To Me?

What Can Man Do To Me?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who when faced with fear respond, “What can man do to me?” In Jesus’ name, amen.

Believers have the potential to be bold. Why are so many so timid?

In Psalm 56:10-13, the psalmist’s fears are under control because of his trust in God. He says that he will render thank offerings:

“In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

I must perform my vows to you, O God;
I will render thank offerings to you.
For you have delivered my soul from death,
yes, my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.”

Think about David’s relationship with God. David credits God with delivering his soul from death. Do you see God has having done the same for you in that he provides eternal life for all those who believe? Consider John 3:16. Is it time for you to become more bold in praising God and sharing the Good News with others? Will you let God handle your fears? Trust him.

O Death, Where Is Your Victory?

O Death, Where Is Your Victory?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for believers who know they have victory over death. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The very thought of victory over death is powerful. Believers are assured of eternal life in John 3:16 (ESV):

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

This is reinforced by the Apostle Paul writing in 1 Corinthians 15:53-56 (ESV):

”For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:

‘Death is swallowed up in victory.’
‘O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?’”

Be confident of victory over death.

This is Good News indeed. It is time to sing the song,
“Go Tell it On The Mountain.” Go tell it now.
