#soap # Ezekiel 36 ## Title: A Great Comeback Story ## Scripture: (Ezekiel 36:37-38) “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will allow the house of Israel to ask me to do this for them: I will multiply their people like sheep. Like the sheep for offerings, like the sheep of Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so the ruined cities will be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.” (NET) ## Observation: This may be hard to believe, but God is more interested in your comeback than you are. He doesn’t want you to stay down and defeated. He wants to see you thrive and flourish. The difference between us and Him (among many) is His unwillingness to shortcut the process. He knows pain, repentance, and patience all have great value. Therefore, He is willing to walk with us through difficult seasons that develop our character. But, when the time is right, He will be the first to celebrate our comeback… because He is the Author of it. ## Application: When the time is right, God will orchestrate your comeback. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being the Author of our salvation.
