Broken To Restored.

“In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.” 1 Peter‬ ‭5:10‬ ‭

When we break something often it never works and looks the same again. We try to restore it to the best of our ability, but sometimes it's not like it was initially. It's like breaking a plate and trying to glue it back together, it's never going to be the same, even if we try. See when God restores us He doesn't glue us back together like a shattered plate, instead, He restores us like it never happened. When God restored Job, He didn't only restore him The Bible says that God gave Him back double what He had before. Don't spend so much time wondering if what you lose is better than what God has next for you, God doesn't take us from the pit to put us in another one, He takes us from the pit to the palace like with Joesph. When God restores what the enemy has tried to steal from you it's better than what you had before. Joesph was thrown into a pit, but when he became second in command he even helped his family, God put him second in command and gave him his family back. Don't underestimate God. He doesn't use glue to mend us back together, instead, He makes it as though it never broke in the first place and adds more to it. Today, whatever is broken in your life God will restore it, and when He does look at what was broken and notice how it's even better than before. Keep on praying for that restoration because God can and will do it! Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you.” Psalms‬ ‭51:12‬ ‭ “When Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before!” Job‬ ‭42:10‬ ‭ “So the Lord blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning. For now he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.” Job‬ ‭42:12‬ ‭ “You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.”Genesis‬ ‭50:20‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
