ISA 61:7 NIV
Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.
Have you met the God of awesome possibilities, the God that can change destinies and restore Hope to the most hopeless of circumstances? Have you met the God who makes streams of water flow from the most unlikely places? Let me introduce him through his works: he's the One who created a highway through the Red Sea, so his people could pass on dry ground. He is the one who provided manna constantly, faithfully and regularly for 40 years in the wilderness. He's the same One who turned a fiery furnace into a coldroom for 3 Hebrew men, and he's the same one who shut up lions' mouths for the sake of his child, Daniel.
It then means that God is still Very much in the business of doing great things. He wants to change destinies and bring about change in the lives of his children. He's the One who knows the end even before the beginning started and it is He alone that has the power to bring all his children to that good end He already has planned.
It doesn't matter where you stand now; what matters is who you have given control of your life to. You could be in a lion's den, you could be passing through fire, you could be in the midst of the most difficult situation, but If you are travelling with the right company, which is God, then you can rest assured that He will bring peace, joy, hope and favour into the most distressing of situations.
Circumstances do not last forever; only God does. If you want to enjoy eternity, then find yourself in God. He alone can carry you into the safe harbour and the eternal home of rest which He has promised all those who trust him. His time of favour is here.
