"Restoration - Setting the Bone" dives into the biblical concept of restoration, guiding Christians on their journey to wholeness after experiencing spiritual, emotional, or moral brokenness. Just as a doctor carefully sets a fractured bone to heal properly, God's restoration process involves deliberate actions to realign us with His will, mend our brokenness, and restore us to spiritual health.
The imagery of setting a bone is powerful in describing this process. A broken bone that isn't properly treated can lead to ongoing pain and dysfunction. Similarly, when spiritual fractures-caused by sin, trauma, or life's trials-are ignored, they can result in prolonged spiritual pain and hinder our ability to fulfill God's purpose. This book serves as a guide for those seeking God's loving and methodical restoration.
The Bible is filled with examples of God's restorative work. From the fall of Adam and Eve to King David's repentance after his sins, Scripture teaches that no matter how broken we are, God is willing and able to restore us. In Psalm 51:10, David's plea, "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me," encapsulates the essence of seeking restoration-recognizing our brokenness and asking God to heal and renew us.
Restoration isn't always quick or easy. Like setting a bone, it can be painful and requires time to heal. It often involves difficult steps such as confession, repentance, forgiveness, and trusting God with the future. Yet, just as a properly set bone becomes strong again, a soul restored by God emerges more resilient and better equipped to fulfill His purpose.
"Restoration: Setting the Bone" walks you through the biblical principles of restoration, offering insights into how God heals our deepest wounds and how we can cooperate with Him in this process. Whether you're seeking restoration for yourself or helping someone else, this book provides the tools and encouragement to embrace God's healing power. It reminds us that no matter how fractured our lives may seem, God is a master at setting the bone, guiding us gently and lovingly toward complete restoration.
