Jeremiah 31: 23, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of
Israel, ‘Once again they will speak this word in the land of Judah and in its
cities, when I restore their fortunes, The Lord bless you, O abode of
righteousness, O holy hill!’”
Once again,
“They will speak this word.”
“When I restore.”
How often do we let go of His words and forget, or resist,
speaking them to ourselves and to others.
Fears—apathy—exhaustion—selfishness—pain—are only a few of the reasons we fail
to remember the promises and their power.
Too often we only perceive or define restoration that we can
see as tangible and measurable in work, and home, and finances. Yet the Lord’s
restoration commits to hearts, souls, truth, and life.
His words stand timeless.
He will restore us to His plans and purpose and focus and
message. He will enable us to remember and hold on—to His words, not our
limited fragile attempted copies.
Lord, please give us courage to be faithful to Your grace in
all our circumstances. And when we falter, may Your Spirit speak into us and
carry us through any despair.
Your thoughts,
