Embracing a New Season of Restoration

Admin

“Now the two of them went until they came to Bethlehem. And it happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was excited because of them; and the women said, “Is this Naomi?”But she said to them, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. I went out full, and the Lord has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the Lord has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?” So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab. Now they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.” 


- Ruth 1: 19-22 (NKJV) 

 

As we enter a new season of restoration, God invites us to prepare our hearts to receive His blessings. While He performs the work of restoration, we are called to align ourselves with His will. Though the journey may challenge us, the promise of His transformative power makes every step of obedience worthwhile. 


We must walk away from the pains of the past and into the promises of God. Bitterness, disappointment, and regret tether us to yesterday, preventing us from stepping into the future. Like Naomi in Ruth 1:19-22, we may feel bitter and blame God for past losses. But restoration begins when we let go and stop dwelling on past pain. Romans 8:28 reminds us, “All things work together for good to those who love God.” Trust that God can transform even the worst situations for your ultimate good. 


Not everyone will journey with you into a new season. Ruth chose to stay with Naomi, while Orpah returned to Moab (Ruth 1:14-16). Surround yourself with people who share your vision and determination to grow in God. Proverbs 13:20 warns, “He who walks with the wise will be wise, but a companion of fools will suffer harm.” 

Restoration begins when we let go and stop dwelling on past pain.

When Ruth stepped into the fields, God orchestrated her steps to meet Boaz. It was no coincidence; it was divine placement (Ruth 2:3). In your season of restoration, trust that God will order your steps and position you for favor. Whether it’s opportunities, relationships, or resources, God’s hand will guide you into the right place at the right time. 


Just as bread nourishes the body, God’s restorative power brings wholeness to every area of our lives, reminding us that He is both our source and sustainer. But this restoration requires us to turn to Him fully. As Acts 3:19 urges, we must repent so that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. Repentance clears the way for restoration; it is a return to Judah—a place of praise and worship, where we realign with God and His purpose for our lives. It’s not about coming perfectly cleaned but about approaching Him as we are, trusting in His embrace and cleansing. 

Let us not merely seek material provision but also fresh encounters with God’s Word and presence.

     Song I know who I am by Sinach


Prayer -  Heavenly Father, we come before You in this season of restoration, thanking You for being our provider and sustainer. You see the voids in our hearts, the areas where we feel weak and shaken. Lord, we trust that You will help us walk away from past hurts, release bitterness, and embrace the new season You have prepared for us. Surround us with the right people who will encourage and sharpen us and lead us into divine opportunities where we will find Favour In Jesus’ name, Amen.
