“In that day I will restore David’s fallen tent. I will repair its broken places, restore its ruins, and build it as it used to be” (declares the Lord) Amos 9:11 NIV
Yesterday I posted my thoughts on Harold Camping’s now failed prediction of the end of the world on May 21, 2011. (You can read that post HERE). We know that prediction didn’t come true, and most are relieved, but I can’t help but wonder if some are disappointed.
Do you have any broken places in the “tent” of your life? Are you ready for them to be restored? What Camping was promising would have been relief for many believers.
It seems hardly a day goes by that I do not encounter someone going through a struggle in life. That’s among those people inside and outside the church. We are experiencing the heartache and pain of a broken world.
May I offer this as hope as we continue in this path of life: Restoration is on its way! In the meantime, God’s Spirit stands ready to assist you in your time of need!
Jesus is going to return! At the very breath through the Father’s mind, Jesus will mount a great white stallion, whose rider is called Faithful and True, and He will, in a mighty display of His glory, bring victory to the people of God. The broken places will be made whole. Everyone will finally know that there is but One God, and He is Maker and Ruler of all things.
Jesus will come quickly, with a shout, and we will be brought before the Throne of the Almighty, where God will permanently and personally wipe every tear from our eyes. We will be with the Lord forever!
Are you ready for that glorious day? It didn’t come yesterday…but it’s coming!
Me too! Me too!
Hoop! I am getting ready for the glorious day; for His second coming. (There are many broken places in the “tent” of my life. My parent's debt struggle over a long period of time was one such. I am expecting that to end in the following few days after several years of perseverance and prayers)
I'm sorry to hear about your surgery. Cheryl had that a couple years ago. We'll be praying for you!
Actually the rapture was suppose to happen yesterday and the end of the world Oct 21st, 2011…. Where did he get this stuff? But all my local news stations picked up the story and talked about the rapture for a week. I thought it was kinda cool.
I had a hysterectomy last Wednesday. It was a tough decision to have the surgery. I'm not married and I've never had kids, but always wanted to. But my health was deteriorating at a rapid pace. This week has been like having a funeral and giving birth at the same time. Death to an old dream and giving birth to a new dream. I'm looking forward to seeing what God has in store and I'm sure it's better than what I had in mind. I need to pick up Amos and read this scripture.
