“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” Isaiah 61:3, NKJV.

It’s great to know that although you can count out man, you can never count out God. No matter what the devil says in your ear about your end. He may even tell you it’s too much, or it’s too big of a mistake, but you are never counted out with the Lord on your side. The Shepherd Jesus knows you by name. With God, it’s never over, and the best is yet to come. He takes what is nothing, and makes something good out of it. He takes what appears dead and makes things alive. You will rise from this situation better, wiser, and blessed.

Sometimes, He will allow you to be uprooted, but He will plant you in a place far better than you were. Your turnaround will be so great, that you know only He will get the glory. You will look back and only be able to say only a way-making God could have done this in your life. No one can tell you how He does it, but He miraculously does it for the man who puts His trust in Him.

Prayer: Father, I give you praise! You are good and awesome. I will not count you out. You are in full control. I declare it’s not over, and the best is yet to come because you are on my side. You know my name. Steer me during this time and help me keep trusting you with my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
