Promise of Restoration
For those who need healing
Isaiah 57:17-19
Read the Bible through:
AM - 2 Samuel 5-6; PM -Luke 12:1-2
"I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near," Says the LORD, "And I will heal him"
(Isa. 57:19).
A six year old farm boy, Jack Lawler, had a collie-mix dog named Bill with whom he was inseparable. One day one of the cows kicked Bill in the head. With no vet in his nearby town, his father tried to "doctor" the dog but to no avail. Bill died. Jack had lost his best friend. He cried for days and would not eat. There was very little peace in the Lawler home. Jack's parents felt his distress.
Weeks later, his dad drove into the driveway, opened the car door, and out came a little collie puppy. He jumped all over Jack.
That night they slept together. Gone was his grief and sleepless nights. His father, by bringing him the puppy, had healed him. A new peace came. In later life, Jack learned about God's peace. How great it is.
Thank You, Lord, for the peace you give to both children and adults.
