Praise Focus-Good News

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Praise Focus is found in Nahum 1:15.

Look, there on the mountains, the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your festivals, Judah, and fulfill your vows.”

We live in a world tainted by sin, which delivers the bad news of corruption, pain, and tragedy. But that is not the only reality of a given day.

There is good news that triumphs over bad news. There is the reality of God’s saving grace. There is the reality of forgiveness of sins in the name of Jesus. There is the reality of peace with God and the hope of eternal life by faith in His name. This is a reality that we can celebrate together in our churches, in our homes, and in our connections with other believers wherever we meet.

The good news of the Gospel is a reason to praise God in the Year of Focus.
