Restoration by the Word of the Lord


Judges 6:7-8, 11-12 …
when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites, … the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel,… And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak …and … Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.

One major way that God begins His process of restoration is by sending His Word to us. In response to the prayers of the children of Israel, God sent a prophet to pinpoint how they went astray by
following other gods and to remind them of His faithfulness.

But God did not stop there. Through an angel, He sent His Word to Gideon. Gideon was hiding to thresh wheat in a wine press and God sent His Word to him, telling him that he was a mighty man of valour. Often times, what God will say to you will not be what you expect to hear, but it will be a word that will stir up His life and grace on the inside of you. 2Timothy 3:16-17 says, all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Having prayed and repented where necessary, giving yourself to God's Word is something that will benefit you immensely. Allow the Spirit of God to lead you to locate the Word that God has sent concerning your life and situation. God's Word can provide correction, direction, inspiration and strength that will stir you up for exploits that will bring about divine restoration in your life. As you open up yourself to God's Word today, His Word will stir you up for exploits and divine restoration.

PRAYER FOCUS: I am open to your voice of God. Send forth Your Word to me and let Your Word stir me up for exploits and divine restoration.

BIBLE IN A YEAR READING PLAN: JOB 1-5

Empowered to do exploits...
