Activating Faith in everyday life
I did something wacky when I was uploading pics from my SD card to the computer. Panic ensued for a while. No photos on the SD card and no photos on the computer! Tried everything I knew (that didn’t take long ha ha), then tried the internet. Found the answer and it was a quick fix after all. Got the SD card and photos restored. Such a little thing and such a relief to figure out what I did (tried to delete photos from the SD card while it was in the computer instead of from the camera).
Some of my – uh – adventures – are bigger and I am unable to fix them on my own. Usually if I cannot figure out how to un-do my own destruction I am able to call in Mighty Man (Husband), Mighty Tech (Son), or Mighty Woman (Daughters or Daughter-in-law). Think of it – my very own restoration team!
I’m so thankful that all I have to worry about are the little things – and that I have a Mighty God to handle the Big Deal – How to restore ME. It’s so calming to know that God wants to and can restore all of me – mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually.
1Peter 5:10 – And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
Jeremiah 31:25 – I’ll refresh tired bodies; I’ll restore tired souls.
Deuteronomy 30:3 GOD, your God, will restore everything you lost; he’ll have compassion on you; he’ll come back and pick up the pieces from all the places where you were scattered.
Now there’s comfort for the long haul.
