Tracie Mark
“You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands.
Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.
This will be for the Lord’s renown, for an everlasting sign, that will endure forever.”
Isaiah 55:12-13
Exactly nine years ago today, I walked out of prison gates, free from shackles and chains, and finally free on the inside. God had delivered me in the midst of the fiery furnace and used what man meant to break me, to make me into His humble servant.
A lot has happened in the past 9 years (now 10), some bad, some good, some outstanding, but through it all God continues to show me that He will indeed, work ALL THINGS for my good if I let Him by staying submitted to His will.
His way is not always the easy way, and it’s very rarely the way I would have chosen, but it’s always the best way. Never despise the day of affliction and your time in the fiery furnace…He’s making you into a beautiful vessel, fit for His use and one that will shine His marvelous light.
