Good Morning. The same way that God restored Israel from the bondage of the Babylonian it’s the same way that He will restore us from the bondage of sin. In Zec. 8:7, 8 the word of the Lord said, “ Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.” Matthew Henry in his commentary said, “God would renew his covenant with them, would be faithful to them and make them so to him: They shall be my people and I will be their God. That is the foundation and crown of all these promises, and is inclusive of all happiness. They shall obey Gods laws, and God will secure and advance all their interests. This contract shall be made, shall be new-made, in truth and in righteousness. God will never leave nor forsake them in a way of mercy, as he has promised them; and they shall never leave nor forsake him in a way of duty, as they have promised him. Note, We do both God and ourselves a deal of wrong if we think that, when we are nonplussed, he is so, and that he cannot get over the difficulties which to us seem insuperable. With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible; so far are Gods thoughts and ways above ours.” I pray that we will continue to depend on God to restore our soul while we are in the valley of difficulties. He restores my soul - https://youtube/watch?v=dvi4nCC3GRc Have a blessed and Holy Spirit-filled day.
