To all who mourn in Israel, he will give beauty for ashes, joy instead of mourning, praise instead of despair. For the LORD has planted them like strong and graceful oaks for his own glory. (Isaiah.61.3 NLT)
Nature is a true reflection of beauty prepared and nurtured by God Himself. He dresses it with true splendor. Look at the millions of flowers on earth, the birds and many more, each with it's beauty.
All these are planted by God and reflect His glory. Yet man, is more precious to God than all these wonderful creatures.
Matthew.6.30 "If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers--most of which are never even seen--don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? (MSB)
God desires that all His children understand how precious they are and His willingness to keep them a wonder among all creation.
Today there is a lot of mourning, despair and depression in the hearts of men because of their situation. The sense of failure haunts them day by day.
But what has God done for us? He has given us the best: sent His son who comes to those who mourn and gives beauty for ashes, joy instead of mourning, praise instead of despair.
God has designed a master plant on which we are grafted and called the planting of the Lord. The LORD plants us like strong and graceful oaks for his own glory.
John.15.1 -6 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. ...I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned."
Any man in Christ is the planting of God and is for signs and wonders. There is no reason for a child of God to cry if they have this understanding.
Hallelujah!
