Last week was ROOTED for the 1st Week
In the 2nd week of August, we will FOCUS on:
This is what the LORD says: "When I bring Israel home again from captivity and restore their fortunes, Jerusalem will be rebuilt on its ruins, and the palace reconstructed as before. Jeremiah 30:18 NLT |
"Do you feel broken today? Do you feel confident that God will RESTORE your current circumstance and make something beautiful out of your ashes? This week, every time you start to think that nothing good will come from it, say the word RESTORATION and know that He never breaks His promises. We just have to hold on and watch." CCR |
As you already know. I have not read
Excellent and comforting thoughts on restoration, as we start this week! I think restoration is on ongoing process as we invite the Lord to change and restore our lives (at least for me it won’t be complete until eternity)
ReplyDeleteThe book chapter is chocked full of ponderous phrases and things to think on all week. But I’ll only choose one to highlight:
“The site that we label as unfixable is the same location He yearns to restore.”
What we slap our labels on about impossible, not realistic, never in this lifetime, and no way in this world.....is what He (get this) YEARNS to restore! Not part way or half way but fully restored to its former glory! I, for one, can’t wait to see what unfolds!
Good thoughts & wise words shared, as you usually do! And my oh my what a great highlight you chose & expanded on really well & so beautifully especially when you wrote He YEARNS to fully restore, in this lifetime or for sure in our eternity. Meanwhile, I think day by day, step by step (yes, as an ongoing process) He aims for each one of us to be restored & frankly I believe He prefers it to be full in our lifetime here, because we know it's a guarantee in eternity for His glory! But right here, right now; it will glorify Him & can be used as a wondrous testimony of the Greater is He in us ... I'm thinking as I type this that as we look at the word RESTORE & see the "re" as the prefix that means again & "store" (not as a noun like a place, but as a verb action); like your squirrels gathering pecans - To reserve or put away for future use; to fill, supply, or stock; as the Holy Spirit fills us & our Father provides; God wants to fill us again or provide again our lives for future use - here on earth as He purposed for us because He desires to put back again what's been taken or unfulfilled so that we may be equipped again & again to serve His Kingdom & as many people as possible to His original goal to "be at one" atoned with Him in right relationship with Him as He desires for all His children, as at the time of Creation in Paradise. God is for us; God's love is complete in us & with others through Jesus Christ alone. He's given us or made complete RESTORATION available through the blood of Jesus that was shed & covers us completely, bringing healing & taking us back continually.
