Proverbs 25:25 – “As cold water to a weary soul, so is good news from a
far country.”
Today’s news is filled with a lot of negative reporting. The economy isn’t the greatest. DC is broken and confused and always fighting. Wars and rumors of wars. On and on it goes. WE NEED A BREAK!
As I travel and talk to different leaders in different parts of the world there is a weariness that has blanketed ministers. It is a major obstacle that keeps us from moving forward. We become tired and exhausted, not just physically, but mentally and spiritually. It’s a battle sometimes to stay focused and keep pressing ahead. However, there are ways to maintain our spiritual strength. One of them is in our devotion today. Good news from a far country is like cold water to a weary soul. There’s a lot of weariness out there these days. We need to deliver good news from a far country. Heaven is the far country and the good news is God’s word, specifically, the gospel of Jesus Christ. How can I deliver good news from heaven today? Check out this verse: Isaiah 50:4 – “The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to hear as the learned.” God has something to say to people. He has a word for someone in your path who is weary. You and I need to hear Him in the morning. He will awaken our ears to hear His word. Someone today needs to be refreshed. Someone today has heard enough bad news. Someone needs to hear what you have to say. Listen for heaven’s voice. You will be a welcomed messenger to a weary soul.
