God wants to restore to you that which you thought was gone forever. Like the man with the withered hand, we all have something or many somethings that we believe are never coming back. We think that maybe it was our fault; maybe we deserved to lose them; maybe we did something to lose them; maybe something happened to us to cause us to lose them; no matter what we believe, God wants to restore us. He calls us into something new. He never does the same thing the same way. He is moving forward into the new, and He is calling us to come into the new with Him. Will we stand up and step forward into the new?
