Sound Of Revival Devotional: JUNE 26; BEAUTY FOR ASHES
DAILY READING; • 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16; Isaiah 14-16; Psalm 113
When Angie Rodgers was pregnant, doctors said her baby had serious issues in the womb and gave her the option of abortion. However, as a Christian, Angie never considered the option, choosing rather to put her faith in God. And no matter what the doctors said, she told them she was not aborting her baby.
Her daughter, Grace Anna was born with a rare form of dwarfism called Conradi Hunermann, which causes spinal deformities, scaling of the skin, cataracts and little to no hair. Grace Anna spent most of her first weeks hooked up to machines in the hospital. However, despite the baby’s medical condition, never once did Angie Rodgers regret her choice to allow Grace Anna to live.
Then when Grace Anna was about a year and half, something amazing happened. Before she could even speak, she just started singing ‘Amazing Grace’ out of nowhere. For Angie Rodgers, it was a big sign of God’s hand upon the child. And from that tender age onward, Grace has continued singing praises to God.
In 2013, when she was only 3 years old, a video of her singing was posted on Youtube. This video made her to become an instant social media sensation. And today, at 10 years of age, she continues to amaze people all over the world with her singing ability. Despite the many health issues she faced, Grace remains joyful and goes about constantly singing and professing her love for Jesus. She has appeared severally on Television programs and media publications.
Her mother, Angie Rodgers, finds it amazing that this baby, doctors suggested should die via abortion, is today bringing glory to God, across the globe. Angie Rodgers has written a book about her story titled “Grace Anna Sings.”
Indeed when you are a child of God and walking in obedience to His Word, there can be no disappointments in your life. No matter the challenges you face, God will always cause it to work together for your good.
When you decide to honor God, despite how initially disappointing any situation, you can trust that He will turn it all around and cause it to end in praise.
Indeed God knows how to establish a change of story for those who trust in Him. According to Zechariah 9:12, God will give them double for their troubles.
The truth is that God never allows those that put their trust in Him to be ashamed. If you will focus on the promise and not on the problem, God will positively change your story in ways and means you could least have fathomed.
To many people globally, this year has indeed turned out quite contrary to expectations. However as believers, through praise God has given us the power to turn things around to our favor.
Psalm 67:5-6 says ‘Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us’
Indeed we can experience a total turnaround, and see ashes turned into beauty, by raising the volume of our praises to God. And as we remain Joyful and praiseful in this season, we shall be experiencing divine increase, supernatural harvest and sudden dramatic positive change of story in every area in Jesus Name.
PRAYER: Lord, thank You for the grace to keep praising You in every situation. I know that indeed it is my season to see divine increase. Thank You Lord for causing me to experience a positive change of story in every area in Jesus Name.
