Scripture of the Day - October 27, 2012

Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me ...to comfort all that mourn;

3  ...to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness...

Life is bittersweet and the only way we can deal with the bitter is to lean on the Lord. He has felt all the hurts that we feel and He is moved by our sorrow. He cares for us and is with us through it all. We can rest in those everlasting arms. Are you mourning today? Go to Him for comfort. Let Him turn your ashes into beauty.  Don't let the spirit of heaviness weigh you down, rather, in these times of sorrow and heartache allow the oil of joy to pour over your spirit for strength .
