The Lord Restores

 

Text: 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.

Friends, there is no level of misfortune that we get to, the Lord cannot restore us. For example the life Job was a case study that we cannot imagine that he can still recover all that he lost. Yes, his challenges was not based on his sinful nature. The bible commented that Job was upright and trusted God in all.  Unfortunately, he still went through losses, pain, frustration and all what not. But, the goodnews is that, when God steps in to restore, it affects all areas of life as God restores health, emotion, finance, spiritual even relationships challenges. Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten. The cankerworm, and the caterpillar and the palmerworm, my great army which I send among you.

Interestingly, God shows grace and restores all, for Job God restored his fortunes and all that he lost when he prayed for his friends and God gave him twice his possession, inspite of their suggestion to curse God and die because of his predicaments.  And he lived to see several of his generations. Job.42:16-17 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations. So Job died, being old and full of days. His faith in God did not go down rather he was focused to the faithfulness of God, as he declares I know my redeemer lives. He continued to seek God for answers, and did not divert his confidence from the living God. And I pray we shall continue to sought after God no matter our storms of life in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.      Father, by your grace after all the suffering may God by himself restore us and make us strong again in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Friends, if we can be patient for a while, there is hope of restoration in all the storms of life.
