Good News


 

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”  Isaiah 52:7

There is nothing more uplifting than ‘good news’.  The phone call from the doctor’s office with a normal test result; the call from the interviewer offering you the job you wanted; the email from a friend checking in to say ‘hi’; the bouquet of flowers from a secret admirer who is not so secret and the list goes on… How encouraging to our hearts is good news!

Good news is like long awaited raindrops on the parched desert wasteland. Our souls come alive when we hear good news. As the Fall season approaches, we are filled with anticipation - the slight chill in the air; the leaves turning yellow and gold, reminders that the Thanksgiving and Christmas season is approaching.  

The season when our hearts and minds turn to the wonderful gift of redemption.  God becoming man bringing the good tidings of salvation. In the midst of the turmoil and conflicts we can loudly proclaim, ‘Our God reigns’
