“You did it: you changed wild lament into whirling dance; You ripped off my black mourning band and decked me with wildflowers. I’m about to burst with song; I can’t keep quiet about you. God, my God, I can’t thank you enough” Psalm 30:11-12, Message Bible.
I have been traveling before and have found myself missing a turn or going the wrong way, so I have to turn around. Sometimes, it’s easy to turn around. Yet, sometimes, I have had to take time to work through heavy traffic, get through multiple lanes, exit, go through a traffic light, and make a U-turn, just to get back on track.
Just like with traffic, it can be hard to turn something in your life around. It can feel hard for us, but it’s not too hard for your God. He has the ability, the wisdom, and the mighty sovereignty to turn it around. To turn the situation around. To turn your marriage around. To turn your stability around. To turn your life around. Just as with traveling, we all have made some wrong turns in life. You may be in a place where you don’t know where you are or how to get your life back on the road, but the Lord does. What happened may have been heavy, but God can work through it all and get your life back on track. He turns mourning into dancing. He turns sorrow into joy. Let patience have her perfect work, and keep your hands up in praise. Don’t worry, He will turn it around.
Father, I give You all the glory. Thank You for speaking to me. You know exactly what I need. Your hands are able to do mighty things! My life may look one way, but God, you’re turning it around to look like another. I turn my heart to You. Help me trust Your wisdom and let Your Spirit patiently navigate me right now. I will not keep my hands down in discouragement, but keep my hands up in praise. I believe that You are the God of the turnaround. In Jesus’ name. Amen!
