A few days ago I was spending some time in prayer over a particular concern and before the time was finished, I clearly heard these three words from the Lord. Rescue, restore and rebuild.
They gave a sense of direction and answer to my specific prayers.
Rescue. A deliberate action taken to go after someone in dire need of help. Their feet have stumbled, and they are headed down the road to destruction. They need someone to save them.
Restore. A plan set in place to give back what has been taken from them without their permission.
Rebuild. A reconstruction to set in place solid foundational truths that can withstand the tough blows that life brings its way.
As I have pondered these three words, they in a sense have articulated my mission statement for this season of my life and particularly for what I am doing now in my new job.
God has set the example. He sent his son Jesus to rescue us, restore and rebuild us. And now, it's our directive to go and do the same to those that need to be saved.
