“You
shall surely…recover all.” 1 Sa 30:8
NKJV
HE’S A GOD OF RESTORATION (2)
One day the Amalekites swept down on King David’s hometown,
burning it to the ground and taking its families captive. In this scene of
devastation, David and his men “lifted up their voices and wept, until they had
no more power to weep” (v. 4 NKJV). Now, God will let you grieve your loses
because that’s healthy, but He won’t allow you to stay there too long. So God
said to David, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail
recover all.” Did David and his men get back everything they had lost? Yes, and
much more besides, for our God is not only a God of restoration but a God of
abundance.
You say, “I feel so ashamed for the years I have
wasted.” The God Who created time can give you more of it. “I will restore to
you the years that the swarming
locust has eaten… the consuming locust…You shall eat in plenty and be
satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously
with you; and My people shall never be put to shame” (Joel 2:25-26 NKJV).
Notice the word, “plenty.” When God blesses you, it will not come from an
eyedropper or from a rationed supply. No, you will be able to sing, “His love
hath no limit; His grace hath no measure, His power no boundary known unto men.
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus, He giveth, and giveth, and giveth
again.” Ever SINCE Adam and Eve “blew it” in Eden, God’s desire and plan has
been to restore us all that we have lost. So come to Him today and let the
restoration begin.
