the oil of joy for mourning

Isaiah 61:3 
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

He gives us all we need. If we want to be Victorious in our testimony for the Lord, Go to God in prayer. Spend time Glorifing Him.  For He supplies all our needs. Give HIM Praise.

Give him credit for His strength that he gives you, for your faith, and put on the garment of praise. I sing praises to the Lord. The Lord speaks to us through his word. Take that OIL OF JOY in your time of mourning, and put on the garment of praise. Think of the one you lost, as Jesus has gained. 

Dealing with death, seems to be all around me. A friend, a friends friend. The anniversary of my sister's death, is coming near. Her husband, My parents. (In-laws), a family members family member. Every time I turn around, it seems like someone close to me is dyeing. Or someone close to a friend is dyeing. 

Even all over in the world. Look around, ISIS beheading people for their faith, or for no faith at all.  Ask God to give beauty for the ashes that you are covered in. That spirit of heaviness would grow into trees of righteousness.  Allow Him to be Glorified. Glorify God.  For this brings peace and joy to your soul, from God.
