BEAUTY OF THE ASHES
BISHOP DR. CLARENCE W. MCCLAIN
Heaviness is more than sadness; it is oppression. The Hebrew word for "heaviness" can
mean dimness or faint spirit. It is a spiritual fog that weighs you down.
God’s answer is not just to lift the heaviness—but to give you a new wardrobe.
The Garment Of Praise:
• Changes your posture. Are you looking down or looking up? I look to the hills from
which commith my help, for no other help I know. For if you turn your back on me
where would I go?
• Repositions your spirit. Lord help me to “Trust in You with all my heart; and lean
not unto my own understanding. And in this I will acknowledge You, and You shall
direct my paths at all times.
• Reorients your focus from Problems To Praise.
Praise is a weapon . Praise is a perspective . Praise is the prescription for the heaviness
that plagues your soul.
Trees of Righteousness—The End Goal of Restoration
"That they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might
be glorified."
God is not doing Cosmetic Renovations —He is planting trees . Stabilizing humanity ,
Deep-Rooting In Spirituality, For An Enduring World .
When God restores :
He stabilizes your walk.
