July 13, 2010 How Are You Doing?

July 13, 2010
Read Jeremiah 31 - 32

Jer 31:23-25 This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “When I bring them back from captivity, the people in the land of Judah and in its towns will once again use these words: ‘The LORD bless you, O righteous dwelling, O sacred mountain.’ 24 People will live together in Judah and all its towns — farmers and those who move about with their flocks. 25 I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.”

HOW ARE you doing? I received an email the other day from someone who was weary. There were hard things in her life, and she needed some restoration for her soul.

We all need that restoration at times, don’t we? And we are at times called to be the one who offers restoration to those in need.

Please take some time to read Jeremiah 31. When you see God’s heart to restore his people long ago, you will feel his heart to restore you today. I long so desperately for the people I meet to know God saves, and I long for you reading this to know God saves you.

God does make new. That’s what Scripture is about—God’s promise and process of revelation to tell us who he is and restoration to show us how he re-forms lives from brokenness to wholeness.

This wholeness is for right now and for eternity. God desires you to be with him in his restored, his brand-new heaven and earth for eternal harmony and joy with him.

How worthy is God to be praised! May his name be celebrated forever! Trust God with your weariness. He will strengthen and restore you.
