337 | When What You Lost Isn’t What You Needed
Manage episode 515021229 series 2971515
Have you ever prayed for God to give you something back, only to find He gave you something completely different instead?
In Psalm 23:3a, David writes, “He restores my soul.” That little word “restores” is rich with meaning. In Hebrew, it’s shoob, to turn back, to renew, to repent, to be brought to life again. Restoration doesn’t mean business as usual. It means being welcomed into something greater than before.
Here’s what you’ll hear in this week’s episode:
- How synonyms and translations of “restore” reveal wholeness, renewal, and even catching our breath
- Biblical pictures of restoration: the prodigal son, Peter’s restoration, and Judah’s return from exile
- Insights from commentaries that remind us God restores both when we’ve strayed and when we’re simply spent
- How the enemy twists restoration into striving, and how God’s Word in 1 Corinthians 12:9 frees us with grace
- Angie’s story of recovery from a head-on car crash and how God used it to bring restoration deeper than she ever imagined
