In the Word Wednesday 7.5: Beautiful Feet

 I’m so very sorry that I did not get a post up last week. Life caught up, and, well..

In my Advent scripture writing today, this was the beginning of the passage to copy. It’s a beautiful passage, full of hope and promise.

Hope: that Messiah is coming. That He brings peace and happiness. That God reigns.

Promise: those who publish this Good News are beautiful in the sight of God.

I got to thinking on this. Who do I publish this Good News to in my life? Yes, I write a lot of social media posts about the things God is doing in my life, Bible verses, etc. But, in that face-to-face time…at the store, on a walk with my hubby, do I reach out and tell others? 

I confess, I am not as faithfully bold in living color as I am online. I’m more prone to blabbing about weather, getting sucked into uncomfortable conversations about how terrible other people’s kids have turned out, the latest NASCAR drama or, quite possibly a Harry Potter reference will pop up. Yeah. That’s probably what you get up close. 

I love Jesus. God saved me out of the mirey muck I had made of my youth and restored my soul. THAT isn’t even the Good News! The Good News is that HE WILL DO IT FOR YOU, TOO! 

I prayed this morning to be more faithfully bold. And, I pray I am obedient to the prompting of the Holy Spirit when He whispers the words, “Tell others.” in my ear.

Have a wonderful and blessed day 💚
