Praise the LORD
Faithful Servant
From our Torah portion this week (Nitzavim) we read: “The LORD your God will return as you return, and will have mercy upon you, turning to gather you back...†(Deut 30:3). This has both a present and prophetic application. First, in the present hour, if you turn to God, he will show you compassion, and he will “gather back†all those distant and fragmented parts of yourself into shalom and wholeness. He will restore your lost days; he will bring you out of exile and give you comfort in Yeshua. He makes all things new. “Draw near, therefore to God, and he will draw near to you†(James 4:8). Second, the LORD will return to earth as the Jewish people return from their captivity, and he will restore Zion during the time of the final redemption. The LORD will turn captivity into mercy; he will turn in his compassion to his people. As it is written: “I will be found by you, declares the LORD... and I will bring you back...†(Jer. 29:14).
Father make all things new, we seek you, we need you, we want you, we return, Amen
Father make all things new, we seek you, we need you, we want you, we return, Amen
