Every morning, God longs to be with us, to teach us, to guide us, and to strengthen us. To those who get up and make Him their first appointment, God gives teaching, wisdom, courage, and strength. His desire is to pour into those who make themselves available to Him. He encourages us and teaches us and makes us stronger in our broken places, and He does all of it through our quiet time with Him and through people. He does it through people like you who needed Him to build up their broken places so that He could send them out to help build up yours. And when you are ready, He'll send you out to help strengthen someone else's.
Isaiah 58:11-12 talk about people who are going through a rough time in their lives, but the promise is that God will never leave them and will satisfy their needs. And when your needs have been met, and God has filled you up, your desire will be to go out and to help others. And when you do, they will ask you how you got there and your job will be to lead them back to Jesus. The next time you spend your quiet time with Jesus, thank Him for all He is doing in your life and for the people He's sent to help bring you along.
You will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings. ~ Isaiah 58:12
