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. ”

God’s exchange policy is beyond compare. It is his will that you relinquish everything that keeps you bound, and exchange them for the things that will improve your life and set you free.

It is not God’s will for you to be sad, depressed, lonely or in despair. It is God’s will that your life be filled with beauty, joy, and an constant attitude of gratitude. Once you make this exchange you will have a life of light that draws people to you. Provides you the perfect opportunity to share Jesus with them.

The best benefit is that the garment of praise is a powerful tool that should be worn daily and used always. Praise grabs God’s attention and keeps him in the forefront of your mind, as well as in the center of your every circumstance.

Praise also confuses the enemy. While he is busy trying to war against you, your focus remains on giving praise glory, honor and thanks to God. Praise diminishes what the enemy is trying to do in your life, and amplifies God and his purpose for your life.

This is the best exchange policy around. You give up the things you don’t really want, and gain the very things you need. After this exchange, you are able to live a victorious life that glorifies God, and brings you a peace that you have never enjoyed before.

How can you make this exchange? Good question, with a simple answer. Peter provided the instructions in Acts 2:38-39 “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”

God is so awesome. The love that he has for us is beyond compare. Take advantage of the perfect exchange and walk in the light of his love.
