Scripture: Psalm 30:11.
Thou has turned for me my mourning into dancing. Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness.
This is my prayer for someone this morning, as you glance through this morning devotion, whatever has caused you tears, pain, persistent troubles, today the mighty Hand of God will turn your mourning into dancing.
Life is full of unpredictable moments. Moments where ones robust life suddenly takes a nose dive or after all your efforts, it’s still same story as always. You look forward to be duly rewarded for your efforts, but instead, same people turn against you.
Someone was sharing his story with me few days ago and bursted into tears. What was his story? He had brought his friend who had complained of hardship into his business, hoping together they can both do something great. He brought him in to help and also to have two heads in a lofty dream of his. Little did he knew that he had open the door for his own down fall. Not too long the friend who he trusted had empty the company account and travel with his family, leaving him with no money to execute projects he has previously taken. This led to different police cases until he was reduced to nothing. He cried sharing his story. The point here is that so much is happening out there. People are heart broken, betrayed, abused, people have lost trust because of repeated disappointments they face. Out there are stories that are unthinkable but yet, the many troubles of a man does not define him. The repeated fall is not a conclusion of failure. The fact that the world has turned its back on you, is not a conclusion of your destiny.
This morning inrespective of what you are going through, God gave me a word for you, He will turn your mourning into celebration. He will put off thy sackcloth and gird thee with gladness. It is a new season for you. You will laugh last. Get ready for a total turn around in Jesus name.
