God’s little nuggets would be the title for this if I had one!
Most of you know that two years ago last January, we had a tree come through the window side of our garage. In addition, we had 10 trees down in our yard that did not touch the house!
You would think the tree problem was solved, right? Well, read on!
Last Wednesday morning when a confirmed tornado came through South Atlanta and one article says on our road, we had a very tall, big tree fall right on our roof over the great room.
It was raining monsoons, so rain poured in on electronics and other stuff, pictures were knocked off the walls wet and ruined.
Limbs were hanging through the ceiling, and it was and still is a royal mess. The tree was removed and a tarp put on the roof by the contractor; wet carpet cut out and among other things an engineer is being called out by the insurance company to check the structure. There are cracks in the wall.
Yesterday the tarp did not do what it was supposed to do and the room got flooded again. It will be a long process!
One surprise was that our electricity stayed on the whole time! Go Figure!
Your probably wondering what God’s little nugget is!
So yesterday morning I sat here at my desk, which is not in the damaged area. As I was praying and reading in the sections of the Bible that I follow, one of the places I read was in Isaiah! I was somewhat discouraged about the whole tress episode!
I know the message in Isaiah was for the Israelites, but it became mine and touched and blessed me and brought me to tears as I praised God for His promises!
Isaiah 61 starts off about the anointing of the Lord and the Good News of the Lord!
Then I got to the part that said God was giving “beauty for Ashes” and a “Garment of Praise for the spirit of heaviness”!
Then I reached verse 7 in that 61st chapter and even though I do not have shame, I grabbed hold of the rest of that verse!
Isaiah 61:7 (KJV)
For your shame ye shall have double;
And for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion:
Therefore in their land they shall possess the double:
Everlasting joy shall be unto them.
Everything within me became Praise! I truly received a garment of praise for the heaviness I was feeling!
I Praise God that we will receive double for our trouble and that promise is mine. Those of you who were in the Circle Maker small group will understand I began to pray a circle of prayer of those promises around us and all this damage problem!
I had been declaring that God was going to use it for our good and His Glory and now this new promise was added!
As I close, I want to encourage you today to find God’s little nugget for your situation and begin to claim it for your own!
God honors His word prayed in Faith by His beloved sons and daughters!

Thank you, Father, for being real and true and with us at all times and in every situation! May each of us stand firmly on your promises and let your word give us life and restore joy to our spirits! Amen!
Love, MeMaw!
