After reading today’s passages, use the guiding content below to help you reflect, respond, and engage with one another.
Part of the new creation process is God dealing rightly with evil, corruption, and anything that is not aligned with the goodness and flourishing of His creation. Right judgment against sin is part of how God makes all things new as He deals with all things that have gone wrong (Isaiah 24). God also makes all things new through restoration. He takes the pieces of what has been broken or distorted and restores them to Himself and to what is good, beautiful, and true (Isaiah 25).
In prayer and in the comments, reflect on how God’s righteousness leads to restoration and where you need that in your life now. What images of celebration and restoration did you see in today’s reading?
Even after my skin has been destroyed, yet I will see God in my flesh. – Job 19:26
Single into my older years I often lose faith I will find a helpmate or children/bonus children of my own. But I also trust God has a plan, he hears my prayers and that he is preparing me in this season for so much more! Grateful for restoration and the truth of His promise.
Celebration and restoration… ten lost years redeemed!
He restores me daily – Amen!
