For how great is their Goodness,
How is their Beauty!
When corn and fruit gladdens
The youths and the maids.  Zech 9:17

Cover me with the cloud of You Presence, O Lord!
Even as you covered Your people, the Israelites,
When they wandered in the heat of the dessert
So they would not be consumed.

Be the Pillar of Fire that lights my path,
And bring forth water from the Rock
To refresh my weary soul
And sustain me.

Rain down Manna to nourish the famished!
Anoint my head with oil.
Separate me to yourself!
Accept my offerings of incense.

Child, I have said I will give you Beauty for Ashes.
Therefore, you will see the fire ignite the wood, hay and stubble
In the lives of those you pray for--be it your children,
Spouse, loved ones, situations or circumstances.

Therefore, when you witness fire fall from heaven,
Do not despair, for from the remnants--the ashes,
Beauty will be revealed.
Tribulation brings forth My Glory--suffering My Beauty.

And they will be like bright gems for your crown, in that day.
So rejoice in the day of tribulation,
And be comforted in the knowledge of My Faithfulness--My Wisdom
I call forth each generation so await My designs.

"When He saved from the hand of their
Foes and redeemed from their enemies hand
Their oppressors were overwhelmed in the sea,
Not one among them was left." Pslm 106:10-11

"The Wise should make note about this;
And on the Lord's kindness reflect." Pslm 107:43
