(Isa 61:3 NKJV) To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.”
Life isn’t always full of the things that we would like it to be. Sometimes things come our way that challenge us, test us and downright scare us.
But God has made us a promise. He has promised us that no matter what we go through, no mater how dark things might seem sometimes, that He will take ashes and give us beauty in return. He will take our mourning and give us the oil of joy.
Do you know why He gives us the oil of Joy? Because oil covers everything; it runs down and covers whatever it was poured on, and saturates it.
We need the oil of joy. It’s God’s way of wiping away our mourning and sadness and replacing it with His gladness.
Let the oil of joy run down over you today and permeate your spirit.
