God's Broken Land

Monday, July 19, 2021

It says in Isaiah 44:26, the Lord says to the cities of Judah, You shall be rebuilt, and I will raise up the ruins. The prophets of Israel prophesied over 2,000 years ago that God would bring the Jewish people back to the land of Israel. Their prophecies came true in 1948, when Israel was reborn and the Jewish people came back to their homeland. The prophecy was fulfilled and they rebuilt on the ancient ruins. When you have something that you love and it breaks, you don't throw it away; you repair it. God didn't throw away His land or His people. He rebuilt them both. His Promised Land is built on ruins. So, too, God has not chosen to abandon this world, or to forsake you, but to rebuild you. Redemption is not about abandoning the broken, but rebuilding them. So don't run from what is broken, in others, or in your own life. Rebuild the ancient ruinst, repair what is broken and God will rebuild you. For it is on the ruins of the Promised Land that the Kingdom of God was built.rn
