What a mess! Do things seem dark, as if they could never be restored? Ah, but let me tell you about my Jesus! From the ruins, He plants seeds among the ashes. He rebuilds, restores, redeems … there’s nothing He cannot do. We must never lose hope … that’s what the devil wants! he wants us to think he’s taken over and there’s no turning back. Lies! satan’s good at deceiving; don’t believe him. Jesus will make beauty from the ashes. Get up, get moving, start praising and don’t quit! Emmanuel is here and He is faithful!
John 5:19 - “Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.” Acts 3:20-21 – “And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.” Titus 2:13-14 – “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.” Revelation 5:12 - “... Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” Revelation 19:6 - “And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.”
Song lyrics: I look around and all I see, burning buildings, barren trees. Hopelessness is starting to wreak havoc. Son of man, I know You see the deepest depth unknown to me, You have planted seeds among the ashes; You rebuild, You restore all that's broken. From the ruins, You redeem, You return all that's stolen from Your children. That's what You do! So be still my anxious heart. All that's gone is never lost. Emmanuel is here and He is faithful! So I won't let my praises stop. I'll sing it from these rubbled rocks. I know You are good and You are able. You make beauty from the ashes. I will sing Hallelujah for all that You do!
Look for that Blessed Hope ... He is Worthy! All that’s gone is never lost. Praise Him and never stop! He is able! He can turn sorrow into gladness. Give Him the glory and honour due His name! Hallelujah, our Lord God Almighty reigns!
