FRIDAY OCTOBER 11
“You
God will come with…[restoration].” Isa
35:4 NKJV
HE’S
A GOD OF RESTORATION (4)
What you give up in order to serve God is nothing
compared to what you will get back. “Peter answered and said to Him, ‘See, we
have left and followed You’…So Jesus said to them, ‘Assuredly I say to you…you
who have followed Me…And…left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother
or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold,
and inherit eternal life’” (Mt 19:27-29 NKJV). That means God can give you back
a hundred times more than what you’ve
sacrificed in order to serve Him. Are you feeling weak and ineffective today?
Read these words and stand on them: “Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm
the feeble knees. Say to those who are fearful-hearted, ‘Be strong, do not
fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense
[restoration]…He will come and save you’” (Isa 35:3-4 NKJV). You say, “But I
have lost my joy.” God can give it back to you in overflowing measure: “And the
ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with
everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow
and sighing shall flee away” (v. 10 NKJV). You say, ‘But I have so little to
show my efforts.” Then stand on this promise: “And the desert shall rejoice and
blossom as the rose; it shall blossom abundantly” (vv. 1-2 NKJV). Rejoice; your
God is a God of restoration, so your best days are ahead of you!
