God says “Restore!”, I say “Restore!”
This is a new day, a new beginning. It’s my time to believe,
it’s my time for restoration!
Today marks the last day of our three-day journey. Three
days which signalled a call for restoration. It may be the last of the three days,
but it is certainly not the final day to see God’s restoration power at work in
our lives.
Three days’ journey symbolizes our progression into a new
beginning. Throughout the Word of God, we see three-day journeys repeated again
and again.
It took the Israelites three days’ journey from Egypt to the
wilderness, where they received a new beginning.
“Let us take a three-day
journey into the desert…” – Exodus
3:18 (NIV)
Further on, in Exodus chapter 15, we see where the
Israelites travelled in the desert for three days without finding water. Then
God revived them by making the bitter waters of Marah sweet.
Also, in Matthew 15:32, a great crowd of over four thousand
who had been with Jesus for three days without having anything to eat, was
miraculously fed with just seven loaves and a few fish.
Jonah’s burial in the belly of a great fish was three days
and three nights, after which he was restored to life to continue his journey
to Nineveh. It took Jonah three days to walk through this vast city after which
the Ninevites received restoration and a new beginning (see Jonah 3).
God says “Restore!”, I say “Restore!”
So too our three days’ journey shall not be without effect.
God is about to perform a great restoration in our lives – yours and mine. Just
as we have seen the supernatural power of God to restore at work in these
instances, know that that same supernatural restoration power is at work in
your life now.
Beloved, God has shown us what is possible with Him, if we
would trust Him and believe that He exists and that He rewards those who
sincerely seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).
I declare,
The Lord is even today working toward my full restoration!
God says “Restore!”, I say “Restore!”
Amen †
