A Sign of God’s Promise

Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the Lord’s renown, for an everlasting sign, that will endure forever.—Isaiah 55:13 (NIV)

God holds the power to turn your barren wilderness into blooming gardens, just as He pledged to transform thorny bushes into aromatic junipers and rough briers into blossoming myrtles. He can take your times of hardship and turmoil, and weave them into stories of His grace and strength. He can make all things new. Even those parts of your life that seem beyond redemption. Trust in His promise as He crafts beauty from your ashes.

Heavenly Father, I am grateful for Your promise to reshape my life. I place my faith in Your ability to convert my challenges into testimonies of Your love and power.
