Blessed are the Messengers
of God.
Blessed are those who bring
the Good News. The Good News is the message of God. People who bring good news have
to walk for a long distance. In the olden days, there was no existing transportation.
The number of visitors was rare, and the news reached very late. The messengers of God
pass the places of the people one’s awhile as they move from place to place. In
olden days, the messengers’ legs are washed in some places as a sign of honour
and respect. The messengers bring the assurance of God.
The Lord will restore his
people. However, the enemies keep the land as waste and ruin the vine. There
is always destruction and devastation in the kingdoms and the nations. The Lord
in his goodness restores to its original state. The Lord is kind and merciful.
Let us wait and desire for his good time. The Lord wishes to see his people in a
good state and happy.
Do we long for God’s
restoration?
