SANA OL

05/16/2024

"Sana ol, sana ol"

That's the latest catchphrase whenever people hear of others enjoying some good fortune or blessing. "Sana ol," or "wish it were for everyone especially for oneself." Well, I added the especially part but that is implied.

Good fortune or blessings, unlike death and taxes, do not come to everyone. Some seem to have a bottomless helping while others will never taste them. Yes, it's unfair but you know what? The best fortune or blessing is for ol, I mean, all.

John 3:16 says that God loved us so much that "He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." (NLT) The offer of everlasting life in heaven is for ol. Ol we need to do is accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and live by faith according to His Word.

But wait! There's more! More blessings come to ol who repent. Garments of Splendor listed at least 100 promises and they're just for starters. Sana ol who read this will come to Christ.

When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing before him with his drawn sword in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our adversaries?” And he said, “No; but I am the commander of the army of the Lord. Now I have come.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped and said to him, “What does my lord say to his servant?” Joshua 5:13,14 ESV
