Day 236

Jeremiah 32-33; Ezekiel 26:1-14.  “Fully Restored”

         God’s encouraging words of restoration came in the form of promise to Israel.  His promises of restoration were part of His plan for Israel.  It’s important for us to remember that His plan covers everything; the beginning, middle, and end.
         His restoration is not haphazard.  I can think of some building projects I’ve been involved in that were not thought through.  For instance, a building restoration is a well-planned process.  First, you must know the original state or condition of the building.  Second, you must know the full extent of decay/disrepair of the current condition.  Third, having an accurate picture allows you to know the true cost for the restoration project.  Final, after the price is paid and the work completed; the building is once again the beautiful building it was originally created to be.
         God had a plan from the beginning concerning Christ’s restoration of the kingdom (see Acts 3:21).  God also had a plan concerning our restoration: “He has reconciled you to Himself through the death of Christ in His physical body.  As a result… you are holy and blameless as you stand before Him without a single fault” (Col. 1:22).
