“Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness” – Psalm 30:11 (KJV)
Brethren, understand that every troubling situation has an expiry date, as attested in the account of Job, who lost everything but, in his refusal to cave in, regained exceedingly, abundantly, even more than he (we) could possibly think or imagine.
Believers, God did not promise us a trouble-free life, but know that He is capable of giving us rest on every side, and will also stand in the midst of our problems. In Exodus 14 and 15, God protected His people from the charging Egyptian army and drowning by the Red Sea, leading to a song of praise and worship – gratitude. Know that Jehovah has gone up with a shout, with the sound of a trumpet (Psalm 47:5), so shout unto Him with a voice of triumph, just as Joshua and his army did.
Today, I implore you to stand firm with determination in your heart, mind, and soul, and worship your God despite the situation. Cultivate an attitude of intense praise and thanksgiving, and receive a complete turnaround and breakthrough. He did it before, and He can do it again!
Join with me, brethren, clap your hands and praise Him daily. Lift up your hands and make a joyful noise unto the Lord thy God, for your victory, joy, and peace are sure. My God never fails, your and our God never fails – God cannot fail. Now, shout your victory shout, let it rise from the depths of your belly. Praise the Lord!
To God be the Glory in the Highest!
