Today’s Godfirmation? God is a restorer of our souls! Jeremiah 31:25 reminds us of just that.
I’m in the middle of reading Jeremiah. It’s a heavy read for me that I honestly have not been able to handle every day haha, but it’s one that I needed to read. Amid their blatant sins against God, including idolatry, the tribe of Judah was about to be put into exile and Jeremiah was the prophet to deliver the news. However, because God had a bigger plan for the Hebrew people, He also planned to restore them in the future.
We can look at their story as hope for our own.
God restores us today on several different fronts. He has restored us from sin through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. While I’ve said previously that this is not an excuse to sin and have to deal with consequences of our decisions, we are restored and forgiven as God’s children.
God also restores us mentally and emotionally through our time spent with Him. I don’t know about y’all, but when I pause and spend time in God’s Word and prayer, I feel renewed. I can come to the table with multiple issues and emotions, and God reminds me of His unchanging character. Because I know Who He is and what He’s done in my life personally, I can trust His hands over my life. You can too!
I pray that God restores and replenishes you where you need today.
