Gene’s Daily Scriptural Postings

21 May 2024

The decision to receive God's gift of salvation through Jesus sets up a great exchange. Jesus takes our mess and our stress and, in its place, gives us His grace and His peace. It’s simply a faith exchange. You don’t deserve it and you can’t earn it.

Even so, it rightfully belongs to you just the same because you are in Christ since you believed in Jesus. And it’s not just some barely enough just getting by sort of solution either. God provides more than you can ask or imagine.

That means God doesn't just repair our brokenness, He exchanges is it for the very wholeness of Jesus himself! In every part of our lives we get beauty for ashes.

Whatever mess you’re looking at in your life today, God has a plan to transform it into something more amazing and beautiful than you know.

­	To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.  — Isaiah 61:3 (NKJV)
