Scripture and a Snapshot - Good News

Like cold water to a thirsty soul,

so is good news from a far country.

~Proverbs 25:25~

When this proverb was written, news took a long time to travel. Even the most urgent messages for kings and princes. Even a few hundred years ago, news from a far country could take weeks or months. When the first European settlers came to North America . . . when pioneers first started traveling west . . . news still traveled slowly, and often only the most important messages were sent, and in the most economical way. Then came the telegraph, and the telephone, and these inventions continued to be improved. And today we can send an email or an instant message and it really travels almost instantly to that far country. We can call far countries on our cellphones and speak to our loved ones in real time. Do we even appreciate how easy it is to communicate and to share good news?
