“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book. For behold, days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah.’ The Lord says, ‘I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it.’ ” (vv.2-3).
The prophetic Word of the restoration of God’s people (Judah and Israel) from idol worship should encourage us as to His “everlasting love” and “unfailing kindness” toward those who have fallen away. Just as God would act to restore and renew His people and His covenant with them, so He works in the lives of all His people, to restore and renew them back to Himself.
There is only one thing that can separate us from restoration and renewal with God, our refusal to repent and ask for forgiveness. In a word, “pride.” Therefore, if you find yourself in a place of separation from Him, you’ve gone your own way, done what was right in your own eyes, and you long for a renewed life, do something about it. For His desire is to have everlasting fellowship with you (see prayer to the right on this page). God Bless.
The Truth: “The LORD is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
