This morning we had some worship music blasting in the kitchen (much to my wife’s chagrin) as we were preparing for a day of worship.
The Robin Mark song came on "Garments of Praise" and we were just worshipping! It was awesome.
So off I go to the Bible to find out where that is from. The verse is from Isaiah 61
Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion-
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
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.
So, for those that are despairing today put on a garment of praise!
Have a blessed day of our Lord.
