Verse Fourteen: Psalm 53:6 Restoration



Who will come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel? When God restores his people, Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice. Psalm 53:6 NLT
14 of 44 of H1523



I have to admit, I do NOT want to do this right now. I have a head cold and my sinus cavities are soOo not happy right now. So this might be short and sweet and my grammer will probably suck be imperfect. I am forcing myself to do it because I am tired of things getting in the way of this very good thing. Maybe thats why they are happening, who knows, but I know one thing God's totally worth it. So if all my own personal strength can handle today is to listen to some fantastic worship and dwell a bit on a verse, that's what I am going to do. God can use that. He can do anything. And its not about me, now is it ;)

I stared at this psalm for a while. My brain isn't working. But I got this: Restoration.

Restoration is fantastic isn't it? Think about it, think about all the times you have been broken. shattered. or when something has been taken from you. A dream maybe, a hope. Maybe God hasn't restored all of that to you yet, but He wants to. It can be a journey to even discover that you had this thing once. Recently, I realized there was a dream I'd had when I was young. It was stolen so young that I forgot it even existed. it's been 22 years since then, 22 years of shutting it out, shutting it down, believing a lie to the point I did't even know there was a truth. You can bet that when he restored that dream to me I rejoiced (and cried...a lot).

"Who will come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel?" 


Who will? I love that the response here begins with "When." When God. There's no doubt, no maybe. When. It's gonna happen and WHEN  it does, there WILL be joy, there WILL be rejoicing. DUDE!! Can I get an Amen?! Just thinking about it gets me all jazzed, who knows what else He has for me, He just keeps going... And for you. Be open to it. Trust Him to restore you, choose to let Him show you the truth of His love. You will rejoice :)
