restoration

-

This week as I was driving home from work I heard the LORD speak to me. I clearly heard him say, “I am going to restore.”

I am willing to restore are you willing to ask me? Are you ready to examine yourself and your ways? Are you ready to look at yourself and see what I can do? I can restore the things that have been taken away and even those you have given away. Do not be satisfied with what you now see.

I have more.  I have more for you and those about you. My blessing is for you. It is more than you can realize. Consecrate yourself . Dedicate your ways to find me and all that I have for you.

Ask of me for more, for I am going to restore.

Thus says the LORD: I am going to restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob, and have compassion on his dwellings; the city shall be rebuilt upon its mound, and the citadel set on its rightful site. Out of them shall come thanksgiving, and the sound of merrymakers. I will make them many, and they shall not be few; I will make them honored, and they shall not be disdained.
Jeremiah 30:17-19 (NRSV)

Plans completing and those beginning to open. My hand has been upon you and those events. Now look ahead. Find the signs and clues I’ve planted for you. You are to walk boldly and secure with me.

Do not be discouraged

Do not be discouraged. I am with you. Yes, I am working within you, despite what you don’t see or sense. I am with you. Drink-in the water I offer. Apply the balm of my peace to your restlessness. My words bring encouragement. Let them soak into your life. My ways bring wholeness, for now and in the time yet to be revealed. I am active within your life. Rest in me and do not allow discouragement to affect you. My love for you is ever-growing. It reveals itself as you allow me to work. Replace what you don’t see with my assurance. My words will come to pass. They never fail. There is nothing I have shown you that I will not perform. Let the water of my living word refresh you.

Out of the Water

-
Later, when the boy was older, his mother brought him back to Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopted him as her own son. The princess named him Moses, for she explained, “I lifted him out of the water.” Exodus 2:10 (NLT) I have known you before your birth and blessed you with my name. I have drawn you up, out of the waters and into my presence. Walk with me. Lean into me so I can steady your way. I have places yet for you to be going; lives yet for you to reach.
