Restoration Celebration
Bible Reading Today: Amos 6-9
Amos 9:11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
Much of Amos describes judgment that will be taking place upon the people of Israel who turned away from God...but even amidst all of this, God always provides a sense of hope. He says He will raise up the tabernacle that is fallen. He will raise up the ruins. He will build it as in the days of old! Whatever might be stopping us from coming back to God after a mistake, let it go! Run back to God, because He has a restoration celebration awaiting you! You will rise up! Old wounds will be closed! Open breaches, voids & emptiness will all be filled by God's love, joy & peace which far surpasses our understanding! Yes, judgment happens. Yes, lessons have to be learned. And yes, God will see us through to a better tomorrow!
