Proverbs 25:25

"As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country." Proverbs 25:25

Our view on life can be pretty narrow at times. Our eyes allow us to only truly see the events that shape and define our life. Tunnel vision often occurs when we are going about the weekly routine. Friends and family are muted when we are caught in the throes of life tossing us around. The concern is on us. The personal self is in the spotlight.

Life can be overbearing in these times. A combination of the Enemy attacking and God working in you can provide a very chaotic time. Darkness may be all you see and perceive. Hope is a dim flickering light in the hallway of life. Good news is that light can be fixed. Sometimes all that is required is a little tightening up to make that light shine forth brightly again. In this case, a little help goes a long way!

Praise! Praise can strengthen the light of hope in our dim hallway of life. Friends and family can spark this renewal of light and life. A refreshing of God's grace is injected into our dim world. They bring their praises into our world. God's wonders that have been worked in their life. How He has blessed them! The sharing of blessings that have been received. With all that has been attacking from the outside and working on the inside, a lack of focus on God has been maintained. But these praises, they give us direction. They point us to the grace that has been overlooked. A strengthening in our soul occurs. The light bulb is tightened; hope shines forth!

It is in these dark times that our soul is parched and dry. A praise lifted up to God in our presence brings down the sunlight of His gloriousness. The sunlight bolsters that wearied soul. Gives us strength. Tis what we are called to do. We are to be ambassadors. Bring the good news from our country to give hope and encouragement to those countries around us!
