Beauty for Ashes
“To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.”
Isaiah 61:3 (KJV) |
What This Means for You
God does not just clean up your messes. He transforms them. Ashes become beauty. Mourning becomes joy. Heaviness becomes praise. You do not have to make yourself presentable first. Bring Him the ashes, and watch what He does.
Try This Today
Identify one area of your life that feels like ashes right now, something broken, something lost. Tell God about it honestly tonight. Then ask Him: 'What are You making from this?'
