TISHRI 25
Of Good Report
The
Apostle Paul told us, point blank, to “rejoice with those who rejoice” (Rom
12:15); there is no room here for exceptions to the case. I would like to suggest that occasions of
rejoicing may also be ‘things of good report’, and are worth rehearsing and
remembering often. Such reports are not
only a joy to our soul, but they also
serve the purpose of building up our emunah,
our trust and belief. They remind us of Abba
Father’s faithfulness, not only to us, His children, but to His Word, which He
watches over to validate and perform (Jer 1:12).
Bad
reports will come; however, it is how
we choose to deal with them that is of concern to our Elohim. Every bad report serves as an opportunity for
our miracle working Father to show Himself strong on our behalf (2Chr 16:9),
which is, in itself, another occasion we can choose to rejoice. He is the
El-Shaddai, ALL-Mighty Elohim, and nothing
is too difficult for Him! These are the type
of thoughts that we need to concentrate and focus on, the reports that we know are true and to be believed!
“The light of the eyes rejoices the
heart; and a good report makes the bones fat.” (Pro 15:30, HRVS)
“Who has
believed our report? And to whom was the arm of יהוה revealed?” (Isaiah 53:1 ISR)
