My Devotional Journals: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Winn Collier … AT THIS LINK … told of a radio broadcast by a young woman during the horrible 1964 9.2 scale earthquake in Anchorage Alaska where her radio reports, interspersed with names of survivors were great news to those who wanted to know about loved ones.
And that’s what the prophetic news of a coming Messiah to save the world should have been to God’s people in the dire times they were going thru when Isaiah gave that prophesy (see highlight passage) It’s the good news that should have rocked the people when Jesus repeated that prophesy in Bethlehem in Luke 4. And it’s the good news which when shared with others shows the world Jesus has come to save us all.
I pray we all revel in this good news today and go out and share it with others today.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for reminding me of the joy I have in the good news of Your saving grace.
My Prayer Today Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to revel together in the saving grace we share in our surrender to Christ today. Amen
