Beauty For Ashes

Topic: Beauty For Ashes

Memory Verse:  And Abraham replied, "Now behold, I have ventured to speak to the Lord, although I am but dust and ashes. Genesis 18:27

Main Texts: Isaiah 61:1-4

Word For Thought: God has placed glory on dust and clay for His Glory.

Ashes has no glory. In the time of old they use it to mourn, fast and repent. Where ashes were, there was no glory, no honor, people weep and filled with sorrow, so they uses the ashes only to describe their state. And there is no amount of joy ashes can bring. Papa Abraham compared his low esteem with ashes, he had no glory, just as dust, ashes and clay, but God has placed honor on him to speak to Him. Beloved, ashes have no honor.

After the fall of man everything fell including our beauty, good health and prosperity, divine wisdom and the glory for exploits. So we traded our beauty for ashes. This was sad, but when Jesus came, He took off the ashes and placed on beauty that even in our distress, we must rest assured that all shall be well.

God placed honor on Jacob’s life because his name alone could not take him there. His name was ashes until his name was changed. The same with his grandfather Abraham and grandmother Sarah, their ashes were changed into beauty.

I don’t know what you are going through now, but my word for you is that, God can totally put a smile on your face. Be blessed and find a Church to go today.
