Restoration

What does it look like to have the revitalization and restoration of God in this desert life? When restoration is fully realized in this world, what will it look like?
God will restore the brokenness and barrenness of this fallen world. There will come a time when the blind will see, the deaf will hear, the lame made whole, the mute will speak, and dry and barren land will become a fertile garden again.
The Prophet Isaiah told of the coming restoration, saying, “Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped; then shall the lame man leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute sing for joy. For waters break forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.” (Isaiah 35:5-6, ESV).
God will convert the desert wilderness into lush fruitfulness by bringing in streams of refreshing living water to hydrate the dry and barren land until it is fully restored.
May we anticipate the restoration that God is flooding into this desolate life through his flowing streams in the desert.
A Collect for the Eve of Worship: “O God, the source of eternal light: Shed forth your unending day upon us who watch for you, that our lips may praise you, our lives may bless you, and our worship give you glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
