Picture: House (Rebuilder/ Restorer)
Scripture: Isaiah 57:14-15; Isaiah 58:12; Isaiah 61:4; Jeremiah 31:3-4; Ezekiel 36:33-36
Write any phrases from the selected Bible verses that speak to you:
Visualize for a minute a house either being built or remolded. With this picture in mind, a message of hope comes to us. Not only do we have a Builder, we also have a Rebuilder. Sometimes the chaos of sin or circumstance enters and reeks havoc in our lives; BUT, no mess is too big for our Savior. He can redeem anything, causing all things to be even more beautiful than before.
Is there something that God has placed on your heart “to build” that is based on His foundational truths?
Is there a time in your life that you have experienced “beauty from ashes” due to God’s redeeming love? Explain.
Write a prayer using the above verses as a reference.
There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. Romans 3:10-11
Dear Lord,
The bad news is: we are a mess. We're stubborn, selfish and full of pride. We choose to go our own way. The good news is: you came to save us. You are altogether pure and holy. You came to seek and to save the lost. Please draw us into your inexplicable mercy, Lord Jesus! In your Name, Amen.
