“How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” —Romans 10:15

When I was a boy, I used to deliver newspapers for the Orange County Daily Pilot in Southern California.

I had the bags mounted on my cool Schwinn Stingray bicycle. (I still remember that bike well: large slick tire in the back, smaller tire up front, banana seat, and best of all—a stick shift! Sort of a chopper-style bicycle.)

I got pretty good at hitting my targets with those papers. There were often obstacles in the way—a hedge here, a wall there. The goal was to get that paper as close to the front porch as I could.

It was not my job to make the news, or even to write it. It was my job to deliver it.

Same goes for the gospel. By the way, the word gospel means “Good News.” We don’t take the blame if the message is rejected, nor do we take credit if the message is accepted. It is a message given to each individual directly from God.

The paper boy doesn’t take it personally when people don’t like the news, and neither should we. Our job is just to deliver the news with tact and truth.

Let’s look for an opportunity today to share the Good News. Let’s pray for an open door to invite someone to Harvest America. If there isn’t a location in your area, then maybe God is calling you to step up and become a host, so that your community can be invited to hear the Good News.
