Day 198   Joy and Gladness is Promised

Isaiah 51:3   (NIV1984)

The LORD will surely comfort Zion
and will look with compassion on all her ruins;
he will make her deserts like Eden,
her wastelands like the garden of the LORD.
Joy and gladness will be found in her,
thanksgiving and the sound of singing.

 
After reading this scripture, you might say, “I don’t think so.  So much has happened to me that I doubt that I will ever smile again.  I go to bed in sorrow and sorrow follows me everywhere during my day."

God’s word is always the final word…..on every situation!  As you look to this scripture and say, “Okay, God, I believe You.  Take me to that place of 'joy and gladness,” you can know that He “surely” will!!

Just as a comma in a sentence is a place to pause, the period follows at the end of the sentence to say, “It is finished.”  We may slow down at the “comma of life” but we do not stop until we get to the "period" where God has the last word.
