From Mourning to Dancing

From mourning to dancing,

From grass to grace,

From deflation to elation,

That is my portion.

From sulking to singing,

From failure to success,

From fear to faith,

That is my lot.

From nonentity to significance,

From ashes to beauty,

From trash to treasure,

That is my inheritance.

From dross to gold,

From darkness to light,

From decadence to excellence,

That is my destiny.

From rejection to accepted in the beloved

From reformation to New Creation 

From sinner to saint

That is my heritage.

From drought to revival,

From deadness to abundant life,

From recession to resurrection,

That is God’s plan for me.

From back of the queue to front of the queue,

From penury to prosperity,

From From the last to the first,

That’s God’s will for me.

  3 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.” Isa61:3

The Gentiles Bless Zion    1 Arise , shine;  For your light has come!  And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. Isa60:1 17

34 My covenant I will not break , Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips. Ps 89:34  

5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You , Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.   6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca , They make it a spring;  The rain also covers it with pools.   7 They go from strength to strength;  Each one appears before God in Zion. Ps84:5-7

A Perpetual Covenant of Peace  

1 “Sing , O barren , You who have not borne!  Break forth into singing , and cry aloud , You who have not labored with child!  For more are the children of the desolate  Than the children of the married woman , ” says the Lord.   2 “Enlarge the place of your tent , And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings;  Do not spare;  Lengthen your cords , And strengthen your stakes.   3 For you shall expand to the right and to the left , And your descendants will inherit the nations , And make the desolate cities inhabited.   4 “Do not fear , for you will not be ashamed;  Neither be disgraced , for you will not be put to shame;  For you will forget the shame of your youth , And will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore. Isa54:1-4

10 And the Lord restored Job’s losses when He prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as He had before. Job42:10
