Topic: RESTORATION
Text: Micah 7:7-13
7:8 Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; When I fall, I will arise; When I sit in darkness, The Lord will be a light to me.
7:9 I will bear the indignation of the Lord, Because I have sinned against Him, Until He pleads my case.And executes justice for me. He will bring me forth to the light; I will see His righteousness.
7:10 Then she who is my enemy will see, And shame will cover her who said to me, “Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will see her; Now she will be trampled down. Like mud in the streets.
7:11 In the day when your walls are to be built, In that day [a]the decree shall go far and wide.
7:12 In that day they[b] shall come to you From Assyria and the [c]fortified cities, From the [d]fortress to [e]the River, From sea to sea, And mountain to mountain.
7:13 Yet the land shall be desolate. Because of those who dwell in it, And for the fruit of their deeds.
STUDY:
Restoration is the spiritual adjustment that comes when we turn to God, and call on Jesus as Saviour. God brings us back to him first, like in Ezekiel 36:26-27. He gives us a new heart and a new spirit. When the Lord takes away the guilt of sin, He will break the power of sin, that it may not have dominion over us. God’s restoration refers to gaining from or getting right with Him, and once we have found our right place with Him, we work with Him into our purpose.
Difficulties and adversities have made most of us to fall into sin. Challenges have tested our faith, toughness, and the very core of our being. These struggles, whether they be related to relationships, health, work, or personal failure, can leave us feeling broken and incomplete. They make us question our worth and purpose, and sometimes, lead us to believe we are beyond repair. But, therein lies the incredible power of restoration. It is the promise that no matter how far we have fallen, no matter how broken we feel, we can be made whole again and restored in the image of God. We can reclaim our worth, dignity, and purpose. It means that we can turn our adversities into lessons, our failures into stepping stones, and our despair into hope.
Prayer:
Lord, show me the areas of my life that still need to come under your rule and restore me. Amen!
