"It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look" (1 Peter 1:12).
The prophets of Israel were inspired by God to speak to their countrymen proclaiming the Word of God, warning against sin and judgment, calling Israelites to repentance and obedience. With greater foresight they spoke of One who would come, bringing to earth the reign of God. This kingdom would not come in their lifetime, they would not see Him with their eyes but by their faith. For their service we are grateful. Because they obeyed God at great cost the good news was announced and we have been blessed by their teaching and their example. Their service reminds us that what we put our hands to each day, God will use that work to bless others. Will God bless someone tomorrow because of what I do today? He will if I submit my day to Him.
