Listening To The Father’s Heart

Listening To The Father’s Heart

Son, I am a God of seeming contradictions. I create beauty out of ashes. I turn mourning into joy. I give you praise to defeat the spirit of despair. I transform weak and faithless men into mighty oaks of righteousness. And when my work is done in my son or daughter, my glory is revealed. Many see my work displayed through my kids. You are one of those. I am turning your sorrow into a mirror that reveals my glory and my faithfulness (1 Thess 5:24). You are one of my mighty oaks.

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 oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. Isaiah 61:3
