How Lovely on the Mountains

Well I am very excited about tomorrow, it feels like christmas morning and waiting for children to get up and open a present. I believe God has given us a real gift to share tomorrow - Foodbank is Good News. Proverbs says good news is like water to a weary soul. In a week full of headlines about Haiti, or brothers sadistically torturing other children it is easy for our souls to become weary.

Proverbs 25:25

25Like cold water to a weary soul, So is good news from a distant land.

It is easy to spread soul weariness around, it is also easy to spread good news. Which messenger will you be recieving tomorrow?

Isaiah 52:7-10 (The Message)

7-10How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of the messenger bringing good news,
Breaking the news that all's well,
proclaiming good times, announcing salvation,
telling Zion, "Your God reigns!"
Voices! Listen! Your scouts are shouting, thunderclap shouts,
shouting in joyful unison.
They see with their own eyes
God coming back to Zion.
Break into song! Boom it out, ruins of Jerusalem:
"God has comforted his people!
He's redeemed Jerusalem!"
God has rolled up his sleeves.
All the nations can see his holy, muscled arm.
Everyone, from one end of the earth to the other,
sees him at work, doing his salvation work.
