"How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, 'Your God reigns!' Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices; together they shout for joy." -- Isaiah 52:7

We see a turn happening in the communication given to the people of Israel... Isaiah has become a prophet of hope... there is a repeating call throughout this part of the book: "Awake!"...

Are we awake to the presence of God in our midst?  Does the landscape of his creation move us in a way that reminds us of the greatness of God?  Does the mind go to a place of majesty when we consider the work of his hand?

Does the world then see the beauty of God in and through the people of God?  Does the world hear proclamations of peace and good tidings and salvation? 

How will you see God in the world today?  How will you show God to the world today?
