June - Day 19

Let this guide our day today

Isaiah 61:3
3 To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the LORD has planted for his own glory.

- Isaiah 61:3 promises God’s divine exchange: replacing grief and ashes with joy and beauty, transforming suffering people into strong "oaks" that display His glory.
- This is not always easy but it is His promise and if we allow the Lord to take us through our rough times we will see the glory after the storm. Let this guide our thoughts today.
