- Now…pray and ask Holy Spirit to highlight something from this post and to teach you. (Perhaps he already highlighted something as you were reading!). Close your eyes and be silent before him for a minute or two...or more. Breathe in Holy Spirit. (Yes, actually inhale.) Listen. Open your eyes and peruse the post. What does your eye see or your ear hear? Write it in your journal.
- Why does it seem important? You could even ask: Father/Jesus/Holy Spirit, why have you brought this to my attention? Write the answer in your journal. (The answer may be a question…an I wonder. Allow Holy Spirit to direct your thoughts.)
- Make it a prayer. Pray the scripture (and it’s insights, questions, or comments) back to the Father. Write this in your journal.
- How are you going to be different after this experience with God? What does he want you to be or do as a result? If you are not sure, ask him. Write this in your journal.
A Restorer
#13 in the Series: My Daddy Is…
Last
summer we had a fire in our motor home.
Fortunately, it was only in the engine compartment and we were at a
repair shop when it happened! How’s
that for God looking out for us! The
process of repair
required time and a significant outlay of cash. Fortunately, our insurance covered most of
it. The repairs restored the
functioning of the vehicle and the insurance restored most of the cash outlay.
God is
also in the restoration business. In
fact, he doesn’t just restore things to their previous condition but better
than before. He makes all things new!
“Though you have made me see
troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of
the earth you will again bring me up.”
Psalms 71:20 NIV
“Return to your fortress, you
prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to
you.”
Zechariah 9:12 NIV
“And the God of all grace, who
called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little
while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”
1 Peter 5:10 NIV
“Jesus said, "Truly, I say
to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or
father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, who will not
receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and
mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come
eternal life.”
Mark 10:29-30 ESV
“And he who was seated on the
throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." Also he said,
"Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."”
Revelation 21:5 ESV
“Now, if anyone is enfolded
into Christ, he has become an entirely new person. All that is related to the
old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 TPT
I look forward to
this journey with you! Onward to
freedom for your mustang heart!
