Beauty from the ashes

“and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. [‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭61‬:‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬]

God takes the broken things and makes them beautiful 

He is the God of the turnaround, He always makes a way!

“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.” [Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭NIV‬‬]

Song by Charity Gayle Because of Jesus 

[Bridge]

You bring freedom to the captives
Good news to the poor
Healing to the broken
And joy to those who mourn
You turn ashes into beauty
The ruins You restore
I am a testimony
Of the goodness of the Lord

You might be in a circumstance that seems impossible and the odds are against you.  Remember that God is for you! And HE IS YOUR EVER PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE.

Or maybe you just got done with an intense battle and you’re exhausted, and your standing on the ground and everything thing looks ruined and destroyed. Life is a battle there is always something going on it’s full of ups and downs. Sometimes we will be fighting on the battlefield and other times we are walking through the ruins on the battlefield [ the aftermath of the battle]

Remember that God turns ashes into beauty and ruins He restores!

It might look hopeless and horrible, but just watch and see how God takes the mess of the battle ground into a beautiful field blooming with life. 

Just take heavens perspective, look through Gods eyes.  Don’t focus on the ruins but look for the life.  

So when you are starring at the battle ground look for the flowers in the field, that is the sign for life. Look for Gods hand in the battle ground, watch and wait, He is going to turn your battle ground into a field that it filled life. 

The enemy  is trying to take you out because you are a child of God, but you are a Child of God the creator of the entire universe, by His words the planets formed, by His words the earth was formed and everything in it. 

He is more powerful than any thing you face, He has the final say!

He is the Great I am! THE ONE WHO HOLDS EVERYTHING IN HIS HANDS AND WE ARE HIS!

Trust in God watch Him move, just wait and see how He turns the ashes into beauty! Watch Him restore the ruins and bring life to your situation!

Wait for the Lord! Watch and see what the Lord is going to do.
