Good News

I know that whatever God does will last forever; it’s impossible to add to it or take away from it. ~ Ecclesiastes 3:14 (CEB)

(John wrote:) Then I saw another angel flying high overhead with eternal good news to proclaim to those who live on earth, and to every nation, tribe, language, and people. ~ Revelation 14:6

God, you alone are worthy of ultimate respect. Your good news is the only thing worth total, undivided, eternal attention. Of course, I don't consistently live that way. Help me to get into the habit of looking for ways that I can join the angels in passing along the good news of Jesus and the reconciliation that he brings to the all the people of the world. There is nothing more and nothing less I'd rather do with my life -- and my day. Amen.
