Restoration is an important aspect of the Christian faith. As believers, we should not let the fall be public, as the world will keep us in constant condemnation. It is great that God prepares us and allows us the opportunity to get up again when we have blown it. Galatians 6 talks about being restored, which means rendering fit, sound, complete, mending, repairing, or strengthening. Although it requires an effort of the individual, we can also help the believer. We don’t look at a fall and point the finger but go to help, mend, and recover that individual.
The restoring process can take on so many aspects, such as strengthening, mending, repairing, and helping an individual. We can also help where someone is lacking, as it is a great heart of leadership. We can recover ourselves out of the snare of the devil by instructing those who oppose themselves in meekness, and the Word can be incorporated and engrafted to get us out of the devil’s snare.
God can restore our lives, and everything else, such as leaders and the Word, is involved, but ultimately it is God who leads us to restoration and recovery. The Spirit of the Lord is upon us to preach the gospel to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, and recover sight to the blind. By introducing the light of the Word, God’s light gives us the ability to clearly see. The Lord is our shepherd, and He restores our soul and leads us in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
