Key Verse:

“And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt;

you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;

you shall be called the repairer of the breach,

the restorer of streets to dwell in.”

— Isaiah 58:12

Rooted Truth:

God not only restores people—He rebuilds what was broken and uses us as His repairers.

Faith Story:

After Jerusalem’s destruction, Nehemiah returned to lead the rebuilding of its walls. The task was daunting—opposition, rubble, and exhausted workers. Yet by God’s strength, the walls were rebuilt in just 52 days.

Similarly, in times of revival, God has raised up men and women who became “repairers of the breach”—rebuilding faith, families, and communities that seemed too far gone.

What God restores, He often calls us to help rebuild—not in our power, but through His Spirit.

Scripture for Deeper Roots:

Amos 9:11 – “In that day I will raise up the booth of David that is fallen and repair its breaches…”

Ezra 3:11 – “…they sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the LORD, ‘For he is good…’”

1 Peter 5:10 – “The God of all grace… will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”

Daily Practice:

Look around at the “ruins” in your life, family, or community. Pray and ask God how He might use you as part of His rebuilding work. Take one small step toward repairing what’s broken.

Daily Prayer:

Lord, You are the Restorer and Rebuilder. Thank You for raising up what is torn down and using Your people to bring restoration. Use me as a repairer of the breach and a restorer of hope in my generation. Amen.

Deep Reflection:

• What “ruins” around you need rebuilding?

• How might God be calling you to join His work of restoration?

• What broken places in your life has God already begun to rebuild?
