To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God. To comfort all who mourn and provide for those who mourn in Zion- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor. (Isaiah 61:2,3) Life is a journey with many stormy seasons, twists, turns along the way. It is critical to stay with the growth and developmental process one day at a time to ensure a successful outcome. Timing is everything! In God's time, if you are obedient, He restores, refreshes the years sowed in tears. Instead of shame, disgrace or enduring through difficult circumstances, you receive double honor when you wholeheartedly submit to His will.
So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith. (Galatians 6:9,10 MSG) #Persevere

Season of Restoration
Isaiah 61:6,7- ...You will be called priests of the Lord, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations and in their riches you will boast. Instead of their shame, My people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance. And so they will inherit a double portion in their land, everlasting joy will be theirs. Joel 2:25- I will restore to you the years the grasshopper and the locust have eaten... In these dangerous times, there is a cause for God's faithful and willing servants to arise and build up broken, burned or torn down places in families, nations, ministries for His kingdom. God is concerned about His people and goes to extreme measures to restore them back to righteous standing. No matter how far people may have wandered in a wilderness of despair, darkness, shame or disobedience when you repent, calling out to Him for help, His love looks beyond desperate situations to bring restoration and refreshing. The love of God is a gift that keeps on giving, is so amazing and His ways are incomprehensible.
Romans 11:33-12:1,2. Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, deep wisdom? It's way over our heads. We'll never figure it out. Is there anyone around who can explain God? Anyone smart enough to tell Him what to do?Anyone who has done Him such a huge favor that God had to ask his advice? Everything comes from Him; everything happens through Him; everything ends up in Him. Always glory! Always praise! Yes. Yes. Yes. So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life-your sleeping, eating, going to work, walking around life and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for Him. Don't become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit in without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what He wants from you and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well formed maturity in you. Acts 3:19- Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.
