Sometimes we may think that God does not want to bring restoration, but we think that He will just bring a replacement. I am of the persuasion that God wants to restore and not simply to replace. If we look at the story of Moses we can see how God works. God had a plan for Moses. God wanted to use Moses to bring freedom and release to the nation of Israel. Moses however made mistakes and ended running around the desert for years and years. When this happened, God did not simply bring in a replacement to do the job. In due season He brought Moses back and the nation of Israel was free. You see, God restored Moses; He brought him back, out of obscurity and used him just as He had intended. This is how God works. God is in the business of restoration and not replacement.
A LIFETIME IN A FEW YEARS
This is the amazing thing about God. When God restores, He can take a lifetime and place it in a few short years. This always gives me hope. If you have ended up wasting time and spending time on things that have robbed you of what God had for you, there is hope. As we allow God to restore our lives, we can look forward to this very thing happening in our lives. It is for this reason that it is never too late with God. We are never too far gone or too distant for God to bring restoration of His purposes in our lives. God can do it!
LIFE
Another definition of the term restoration is the concept of bringing back to life. God wants to do just that for us. He wants to restore His life in us. It is, as though, God wants to breathe new life into our lives. Sometimes, as we wander through life, we die on the inside. We may be physically alive, but we know that on the inside there is a measure of death. This can be the result of many things including the things we have been through or the things we have been exposed to. But God is the Source of life. He wants to come and restore life to us, so that we can truly be alive to God on the inside.
