Daily Verse: “Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.” Prov. 25:25
Good news.
Receiving positive information refreshes the soul. Nothing brings life faster than listening to stories of God’s blessings. Google “encouraging stories of faith,” and many blogs will appear with inspirational stories to uplift your soul.
In a world that emphasizes the bad, look for the good. Become a person who tells good news. Find uplifting and encouraging stories and share them with others. Help build their faith by sharing inspirational tales.
I ask God not to let me miss any divine appointments each week, and He never does. Running into a friend on my way to teach tennis; he shared all the fantastic news in his life with me. His family downsized, able to buy a new place with cash, no longer having a mortgage or a yard to mow, his joy overflowed to me. Good news from a friend nourishes a thirsty soul.
Ask God to help you find the good in life. The Lord will answer your prayers and give you a new perspective in a damaged world. When we seek the Creator’s goodness, we will find it.
Lord, forgive us for focusing on the negative. Please help us find the good in life, sharing inspirational stories with others and quenching their thirsty souls. As we view life through Your lens, align our hearts with Your will. IJNIP. Amen
