Our Text today is Proverbs 15:30
“The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and good news refreshes the bones.”
If you’ve ever sat at night waiting for your teenager to finally gets home, then you know the joy that comes when he or she finally arrives.
Indeed, “the light of the eyes rejoices the heart.” There is joy and relief that washes over us when we hear good news. It can be as simple as a friend’s success, a loved one’s recovery, or an unexpected blessing in our lives. These moments not only bring immediate happiness but also have a deeper, refreshing impact on our spirits.
Good news is like a soft rain after a lengthy drought. Just as rain restores the parched ground, causing flowers to grow and rivers to flow again, good news lifts our mood.
In today’s world negative news often dominates and depresses our spirit. Turn the news off and share good news with someone. By spreading positivity, we have the power to uplift those around us. A kind word, a congratulatory message, or sharing an uplifting story can brighten someone’s day and bring renewed energy and hope.
Look for opportunities to share positive stories, offer words of encouragement, and celebrate the successes of others. By doing so, you’ll not only refresh your own spirit but also bring light and joy to those around you.
As we end, let’s remember that the “Gospel of Jesus,” does not mean “the news of Jesus,” It means “The Good News of Jesus.”
