Thought for Today: “Restored and Repurposed”

“Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12)

Asking God to help us number our days is not a game; rather it’s a sure bet.” Therefore, we need to ask the Lord for the wisdom to restore and repurpose our lives.

“Restore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may return; renew our days as of old.” (Lamentations 5:21)

God takes broken people and puts them back together to His original design. To say this another way, God is in the human restoration business.

To restore literally means to mend, like the mending of nets that are broken, or resetting a broken bone. God’s restoration means He takes those who have been broken due to sin and brings them back into a right relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ, and what He did upon the cross.

God wants to restore what has been lost.

“For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds.” (Lamentations 5:21

Is part of you missing? Are you broken and in need of mending? God wants to restore you. Ask God to forgive you and turn back to Him, and then He will not only restore you, but repurpose you as well, that is, give purpose back into your life.
