Good Morning Friends,
“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)
The context of this passage is Isaiah writing
about the Assyrian oppression of Israel. He says that the Assyrians mock the name
of the Lord, that all day long they blaspheme His name. He contrasts the
Assyrians and their blaspheme with those who proclaim the good news, who exalt
the Lord with their lips.
God is pleased when people exalt Him and
share His message of love with those around them. At the core of the heart of
God is His desire to see His message brought to other people. God will not be
satisfied until every nation, every tribe, every people group, every language
has heard His message of good news. God is pleased with those who are His
messengers to take the news to others.
When you share His message of love and grace
with your co-workers, friends, neighbors, or relatives, God is pleased. He has
placed you in the place you are and given you opportunity to develop
relationships with other people for that very reason, that you might be His
instrument to share His message with them.
So, here’s a question: how beautiful are your
feet to the Lord? Are they responsible for taking His good news to those around
you? Are you being a good steward of the opportunities God gives you to share
His message?
His, by Grace,
Steve
