A Divine Exchange

We all go through hard seasons filled with struggle, pain, and devastation. But God wants to give us a divine exchange - beauty instead of ashes.

God's "Instead" in Isaiah 61

Isaiah 61 shows God's desire to exchange our suffering for blessing.

• Instead of ashes - a crown of beauty

• Instead of mourning - oil of joy

• Instead of despair - a garment of praise

• Instead of shame - a double portion

• Instead of disgrace - rejoicing in inheritance

• Instead of ruins - rebuilding and renewal

Other Divine Exchanges

• Instead of ruins - comfort and compassion

• Instead of wastelands - the garden of the Lord

The Aftermath of God's Exchange

Once God gives us His exchange, we will:

• Rebuild ancient ruins

• Restore devastated places

• Renew ruined cities

So What Will You Exchange?

What areas of struggle and pain do you need God's "instead" for today? Exchange them for His beauty, joy, and restoration.

God takes our pain and gives divine exchanges - trading ashes for beauty. Let Him rebuild your devastated places.
