Receiving good news can change the entire course of one’s day. A day that was bitter can turn sweet with just a simple good word. Imagine hearing that you have received something you’ve been longing for, that things are starting to turn around in a certain area of your life; just that word can change everything about your day, week and even year!
Perhaps you have not heard a good word in a very long time. Every time the phone rings it seems to be more bad news. Each visit to the doctor only results bad reports. It is easy to sink into sadness or depression when considering all the bad news that you have receive. However, there is a word available for you that can turn everything around.
“Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad.”
Proverbs 12:25
Maybe you know this word. Perhaps you have known the Word of God since childhood. You remember the stories and the parables but you have yet to see this good news happening in your life. Instead, you have been living the first part of this verse, you have been anxious and even depressed.
You can experience gladness. When you trust in the Word of God, you allow that word to enter into your heart and change your life. You are able to demand that the Word of God become a reality for you. Do not lose sight of this Word, because it can change your life.
May the God of the Bible bless you,
Bishop Bira Joshua
