To grant to those who mourn in Zion…the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a disheartened spirit….
Isaiah 61:3 (AMP)
Seeing the best in any situation and keeping a positive outlook is possible only because of the promises found in God’s Word. In Romans 8:28, the apostle Paul says: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose
Notice that verse doesn’t say God works some things together for your good; it says all things. Every situation, every encounter, every trial, every challenge—God is going to work it out for your good.
God can take the most difficult things you’ve been through and use them for your benefit. He will give you beauty for ashes and the oil of joy for mourning (Isaiah 61:3 NKJV). God didn’t cause the pain or the dysfunction you’ve suffered, but He can heal your wounds and use what you’ve been through to accomplish something beautiful.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, thank You for my relationship with You. I’m excited that I can hear Your voice, receive Your love, and trust You to do what is best for me. I am excited to go deeper in my walk with You.
AMEN
