Restoration
The Lord is faithful in all his words and kind in all his works. The Lord upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down. Psalm 145:13-14
I don’t know about you but when I am reading certain words or passages, parts of it will leap into my spirit. I was reading Psalm 145 when the passage above did just that - it leaped in my soul. I love the confidence that we have in God and His word. God is our King and Lord and He is faithful to us. This makes me think about how over my lifetime I can’t remember how many presidents I have voted for but none of them have been faithful to all their words or always been kind in all of their works. It is impossible for me to expect any leader to be that way because they are human and as human beings we make mistakes.
God’s word says that He is faithful in “all” his words and kind in “all” his works. That means that whatever you find written in the Bible God is faithful to do it! We can look at any promise in the Bible and bring it to God’s attention for our life and He will do it.
This promise should bring joy to every believer’s heart. The second part of the scripture also guarantees that God will uphold those who are falling, who are moving from a higher to a lower level or rapidly declining without control. When we call on God, He has the power to change the circumstances of those rapid declines in our life and raise us back up. You know what I love about this scripture is that God did not give any conditions on His promises. It could be our own fault that we messed up but when we ask God, He handles it for us! He not only handles it for us believers but God can change the situation of anyone we pray for. I love that as believers we have the power to pray for all kinds of situations happening in the world and we have God’s promise that it is done!
Father,
Thank you for your promises. Thank you that your word is true with a yes and amen! We have all made mistakes that have caused us to fall and many times we just accept our fate. But your word says you will uphold those who are falling and raise up all who are bowed down. We ask for this blessing in our life and for the homeless on the streets. They have fallen and many don’t even have the capacity to ask you for help. But we get to intercede on their behalf and we ask that you raise them up and bring restoration to their life as well. In Jesus’ name, amen!
