Isaiah 51:20 - 22, "Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net: they are full of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of your God. Therefore hear now this, you afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine. Thus says your Lord the LORD, and your God that pleads the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury: you shall no more drink it again."
Sorrow brings sickness. It makes the bone to dry. Whatever has brought sorrow into your life has a solution. Sickness - Jesus is the great physician. (Deuteronomy 15:26). Loss - Jesus is the great sheperd. (Psalm 23:1). Cheating - God says take no vengeance for yourself. (Romans 12:19). Relation - Loss of a child or an important relative. Remember, death is an appointment. The solution is to make Jesus your portion in this world. The world will pass away with all its glories, but Jesus is everlasting. When you have Jesus you have escape from sorrow to joy. Isaiah 61:3. He gave beauty for ashes, oil of Joy for mourning, garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness that you might become trees of righteousness planted of the Lord; that he might be glorified
Finally, sorrow may endure till a night but joy is coming in the morning. Psalm 20:5 says "We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfill all your petitions." Escape now from sorrow in your heart to the Joy of the presence of God. Psalm 16:11 says "You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand there are pleasures forevermore." Sing praises unto God, rebuke the spirit of heaviness. Hebrews 12:2 - "Looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."
You have been shown what is good. What God wants for you is to come out of sorrow and depresseion. You can escape, make a decision today. Do not ask your husband, wife or friend if you should make this decision.
First Decision: Accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour; He is the saviour of the world. John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." He came because of you.
#Prayer Lord Jesus, I have heard your voice today, I confess all my sins of lying, stealing, corruption, adultery, idolatry, hatred ...
Please have mercy on me and forgive me. Give me a new heart of Joy. Thank you Jesus for taking me out of sorrow to Joy.
