Rising out of the ashes around the world are the true worshipers.

Isaiah 61:3 (ESV): "To grant to those who mourn in Zion-- to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified."

This devotional was finished in March, 2019, as though written for the times we now live in. Through thoughts dedicated to King David, it speaks a lot about trusting God and cleansing our lives of the clutter that keeps our bodies so unhealthy.

I believe that God will use this devotional to prepare us for things to come, giving us the strength to survive the changes that are taking place. Helping us to build on a different but better foundation. The Word of God is full of promises--not like the promises that man makes and oftentimes cannot keep. The promises of God are given and kept to withstand the test of time. They will not fail us. In this devotional is life. If you will work His steps, you will find inside of yourself the strength and endurance, and the gateway to a healthier soul and spirit that makes for a healthier body.

I am called the oak tree; out of the ashes, God called me. I am Lula Williams: a true worshiper of God.
