Piece by piece.

“God, pick up the pieces. Put me back together again. You are my praise!” Jeremiah 17:14, Message Bible.

A broken plate that drops on the floor can shatter into pieces. You can get the best glue you can find and try to put it back together, but it still won’t ever be the same. Like that broken plate, something may have happened in your life that broke you into pieces, and it seems like even with the best glue you can find, the best worship service, the best message, or the best counseling helps you, but you know on the inside you’re still not the same. Your faith isn’t the same. Your love for God isn’t the same. Your confidence as a man and in your calling were shaken. Yet, don’t worry. God is picking up the pieces. Where you desire to be, who you desire to be, God says I’m making you over. Piece by piece, God is putting your life back together again. He’s putting your pursuit and hunger for him back together again. Truth by truth, revelation by revelation, praise by praise, obedience by obedience, the Lord is doing a glorious work in you!

God knows you need to be you in this hour, and He’s doing just that, my brother—piece by piece.

Prayer: Yes, Father, pick up the pieces in my life. What seemed like couldn’t be fixed, I thank you for putting me back together. Let your joy and peace flow today. Help me to let you do what you want in me. I surrender to your will. I’m excited about what you’re doing in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
