Isaiah 61:1-4

1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.

Have a blessed day!

Released from Darkness

“He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.” Isaiah 61:1 NIV

The good news of Christ is freedom. We who are captives in the dysfunctions of life can be set free – - and no longer bound by our own prisons. Our Scripture today gives us all kinds of examples of God’s provision:

•To bind up the brokenhearted
•To proclaim freedom for the captives
•To release prisoners from the darkness
•To comfort all who mourn
•To bestow a crown of beauty instead of ashes
•To give the oil of gladness instead of mourning
• To give a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair
• To be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord
Why, for the display of HIS splendor. Therefore, we no longer need to look at the dark side of life. Because we know that after every storm the sun will smile, for every problem there is a solution, and the soul’s indefensible duty is to be of good cheer. Beloved know today that our glass can be half full when others see it as half empty.

Today’s Action: Take a negative and make it into a positive!
