January 15 | Make Jesus Known
“How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who announces peace and brings good news of happiness, who announces salvation, and says to Zion, 'Your God reigns!'” Isaiah 52.7

Reading: Isaiah 52

Imagine warriors from a battlefield running across mountains to share the message of victory with a city waiting for news.  This is the picture of the Jews running to spread the news of the deliverance from Babylon, the soon return of exiles, the soon restoration of the city and yet greater than this, that God reigns!  God wants to spread this message of universal reign to the nations, but how?  By sending the church, as runners on the mountain to announce God reigns through the good news of Jesus Christ. 

Prayer: Lord, You reign!  Reign in my heart and life.  Give me the boldness and excitement of a victorious warrior and help me run to declare the message of your victory in Jesus with my family, friends, neighbors and others.
