Devotional by Evangelist Tim Green
Proverbs 25:25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
He labored in the hot, searing sun. It's unforgiving rays beat a relentless tattoo on his bare head and broad shoulders. Pausing momentarily, he saw is young wife coming across the field with two glasses and a tall pitcher of ice-cold water, drawn from the spring. The farmer's slumping frame elevated as if by some force of levitation, and his spirits revived.
A cold glass of water on a hot day and good news are presented in this proverb as having a synonymous effect on the recipient. As we begin another year and look with unbridled anticipation upon the coming allotment of 365 more deposits in the bank of our lives, I trust that some good news will be heard from day to day. Perhaps a letter from a wayward child who has wandered to the far country will warm the hearts of burdened parents. Perchance some young serviceman fighting for his country and his family's freedoms will have time to send some comforting news to his loved ones. There are missionaries serving our Lord in far-flung corners of the world who would be truly overjoyed to have their thirst for friendly communication slaked by an encouraging letter from you with a love offering included. Maybe today you could give the great Good News of the Gospel to some benighted soul so that his eternal thirst could be satisfied at the fountain that will never run dry! Happy New Year and Good News to you!
