PJP2 SEVEN - 170131 - RESTORE

SEVEN: Share/Seek; Encourage; Verily Verify the Victory; Evaluate NOW (Note On WORD)

RESTORE:
Rely Ever (on our) Savior's TRUTH. Only (He is able to) Restore/Redeem/Reconcile Everyone

Psalm 51:12 (ESV)...."RESTORE to me The JOY Of Your Salvation, And Uphold me With A Willing Spirit."....

If you Pause To Ponder God's Purpose in Sharing His WORD with us, One Theme His Holy Spirit Consistently Shares with us IS His Theme of RESTORE.  All Through His WORD, from Adam/Eve's first stumble and mankind's fall from God's GRACE, to the End of Days reflected in Revelation - God's Goal Has and Remains His RECONCILIATION/RESTORATION of His & our RELATIONSHIP with Him.

For example, as YAHWEH's instructing Moses on The Mission of Exodus, God The Father gives Moses a VFR-Direct Example of God's Goal To RESTORE us to Him.....Exodus 4:7 (ESV)...." Then God said, 'Put your hand back inside your cloak.'  So Moses put his hand back inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, it was RESTORED like the rest of his flesh."

Now, granted, in Exodus 4:7, Moses was to employ This Sign From God as a means of Validation that What God Was Saying was Indeed TRUE and To Be TRUSTED.  BUT, as I read these POWS, I Also Hear His Holy Spirit Reminding us....

Isaiah 57:18-19 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."I have Seen his ways, BUT I Will HEAL him; I Will Lead him And RESTORE Comfort to him and his mourners, Creating The Fruit of the lips. 'PEACE, PEACE, to the far and to the near,' says the Lord, 'And I Will HEAL him.'"....

Thus, during these days that chaos, destruction, and ever-rising tensions seem to be the words of the day.....May we Grasp our Lord's All-Abiding-Reality of His Ability (and Desire) to RESTORE us......

Joel 2:25-27 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."And God Said, 'I Will RESTORE to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, My Great Army, Which I Sent among you.  You Shall Eat in plenty And Be Satisfied, AND Praise The Name Of The Lord your God, Who Has Dealt Wondrously with you.  And MY people Shall Never Again be put to shame.  You Shall KNOW That I AM In The Midst of Israel, And THAT I AM The Lord your God And There IS NONE else.  And MY people Shall Never Again be put to shame.'"....

So, I would offer up THIS Eternal Promise Of His to us..... BLUF:  Isaiah 26:3-4 (ESV)...."You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.  Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock."....

Today's PJP2 SEVEN/170131's Prayer is a Paraphrase of Prayer and Praise from Psalm 23:1-6 O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God - We Raise our Worship and Praise in Your Holy Name.  You, O Lord Jesus, You Are our Eternal Shepherd.  In You, Holy Spirit, we Shall Not want.  Father God, Thank You, for In You and Your Way of GRACE, You Make us to Lie Down In Ever-Green Pastures of LOVE.  O Lord Jesus, Thank You as In Your Way, You Lead us Beside Your Still and Living Waters. Thank You Lord, For In You, You RESTORE our Souls.  Holy Spirit, Open our Inner Hearts, Minds and Eyes to See as You Lead us In Your Paths Of Righteousness.  Father God, Thank You that For Your Name's Sake, You Have SAVED us.  Lord Jesus, Even Though we daily walk through the valley of the shadow of death, Because of You In our Lives, we Will fear no evil.  Oh Holy Spirit, we Praise You For You Are With us.  Father God, Continue to Teach us that Your Rod And Your Staff Protect us and You Provide us Eternal Comfort In Your GRACE.  Lord Jesus, we Are In Awe for You Prepare A Table of LOVE Before us, even in the presence of our eternal enemies.  Holy Spirit, we Are Humbled as You Anoint our heads With Your Oil of Your Presence within us.  Lord Jesus, By Your Life, Your Sacrifice and Your Resurrection, our Cup Of LIFE In You Overflows. Father God, Surely Your Goodness And Mercy Shall Follow us All The Days Of our earthly life and Beyond.  Lord Jesus, In You, we Shall Dwell In The Father's House Forever!  In Your Holy Name, Lord Jesus, we Raise our Prayers and Praise....AMEN and AMEN....jaj

Remember:  Isaiah 26:3-4 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."You Keep him In Perfect PEACE whose Mind Is STAYED/FOCUSED On YOU, Because he TRUST In YOU.  TRUST In The Lord Forever, For The Lord God IS An Everlasting ROCK."....

Bonus:  Galatians 6:1-2 (ESV/emphasis & paraphrase added/jaj)...."Brothers/Sisters, IF anyone is caught in any transgression, you who Are Spiritual should RESTORE them In A Spirit Of Gentleness.  Keep Watch on yourself, LEST you too be tempted.  Bear one another's burdens, And So Fulfill The Law of Christ ("Love one another as He Has LOVED us.")."....
