Restoration

The Lord will restore the earth to the glory for which he intended it (Isa 35:1-2). In its current fallen state, the earth groans for restoration (Rom 8:22). It creaks and teeters under the weight of our sin. We have pushed it to the limits and almost used it up, but God will restore it completely. This news should strengthen and encourage you (Isa 35:3-4). No matter how bad things seem, God is in control and he will execute his plan. No matter how you have failed, God is able to redeem you along with the whole creation. He will restore you to the holy purpose for which he created you.
