MFM Devotional For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
The Fire Scripture for today, in verse 3, states clearly a scenario of divine exchange and transformation. God replaces beauty with ashes in the life of His beloved children. All through scriptures, putting ashes on the head signifies a moment of sorrow, as a result of loss, grief or repentance before the Lord by the children of Israel. However, our God brings out the good times from our bad times and makes imperfections perfect by His sovereign power!
Beloved, what are the ash-like situations in your life? How terrible and devastating has it been, so much that it has taken away the beautiful part of your life? God is able to renew and restore your life for the better. All you need is to come to Him with your heavy load of sorrow, sadness, grief, guilt, betrayal, frustration, lack, sickness, oppression and every of such that has rendered you empty, leaving your life void and hopeless. He will restore hope to you! He will renew your strength and make your life beautiful again. You will rejoice in the words of the Psalmist in Psalm 103:1-5, blessing the Lord for all that He has done.
In the book of Esther, God turned the ashes of the Jews to beauty. He gave them victory over the enemy that wanted them dead. Their sorrow was turned into dancing. That was a beautiful turnaround situation! The barren carried their babies: Sarah, Hannah, Elizabeth, and they rejoiced in God’s presence for giving them beauty for the ashes of barrenness. In Psalm 126, the Psalmist talked about the divine turnaround that looked like a dream. This can only be done by the Lord God Almighty! He gave them joy instead of weeping; singing and dancing instead of sorrow, harvest instead of drought; they all rejoiced in the Lord who can turnaround situations for good. God is still in this business!
Are you ready for this divine experience? You need to surrender your life to Jesus. Only Him can bring about this turnaround experience. Become His friend and allow Him to do His work in your life by the power of the Holy Spirit. Let Him remove your ashes, your garment of shame and humiliation, and clothe you with His garment of glory and power as well as His beauty in place of your ashes.
