God Cares and is Faithful

 Zechariah 13-14; Psalms 147; Luke 15

“The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.”

Psalm 147:2-4

God is involved in each individual life and story of restoration. He is also the Creator and sustainer of the universe. He names and numbers stars. Stars far greater than our sun depend on God’s Word for their existence. These two extremes of God’s interest and care are amazing and cause us to join the Psalmist in worship. We don’t need metaphoric language to stand amazed at God’s restoring, rebuilding, and healing power today. In our day, Jerusalem is experiencing a building revival. The exiles of Israel are returning as God gathers them. The ever expanding universe continues to point to a Creator and a point of creation. We serve an amazing God who is faithful to his promises and faithful to all he has made.

Will we trust God with our broken hearts, our confusion, and our questions?

Will we offer our lives in humility and dependence on the Creator of all things?

“Lord Jesus, you are faithful and worthy of my full trust and worship, for your glory.”
