Day 208 Announcing Messages Of Joy
Isaiah 61: 2-3 (MSG)
God sent me to announce
the year of his grace—
a celebration of God's destruction of our enemies—
and to comfort all who mourn,
a celebration of God's destruction of our enemies—
and to comfort all who mourn,
Messages of joy instead of
news of doom, a praising heart instead of a languid spirit.
The Bible is filled with “messages of joy.” For example, let’s take a look what He says
in Psalms 103.
He forgives all my sins.
(Vs. 3)
He heals all my diseases.
(Vs. 3)
He redeems my life from the pit. (Vs. 4)
He crowns me with love and compassion. (Vs. 4)
He satisfies my desires with good things, so that my youth
is renewed like the Eagle’s.
(Now that IS good news!!)
He works righteousness and justice for all the
oppressed. (Vs. 6)
He is compassionate and gracious. (Vs. 8)
He is slow to anger.
(Vs 8)
He is abounding in love.
(Vs. 8)
He does not treat us like our sins deserve. (Vs. 10)
He does not repay us according to our iniquities. (Vs 10)
As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has
compassion on those who fear Him. (Vs.
13)
He remembers that we are not perfect. (Vs. 14)
His love for us is from everlasting to everlasting to those
who keep His covenant and remember to obey Him.
(Vs. 17)
How about that for a “message of joy??”
