Isaiah 52:9
By Ramone - June 8, 2007
I saw this verse the other day and was struck by it -- this joyful praise that God is bringing forth from His people because He has redeemed them, He has rebuilt them on their ruins:
"But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds," declares the Lord,
"because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares."
This is what the Lord says: "I will restore the fortunes of Jacob's tents
and have compassion on his dwellings; the city will be rebuilt on her ruins."
- Jeremiah 30:17-18 God is raising up His people from their ruins. Sometimes we don't know why things are ruined in our lives, and we don't know why we go through so much difficulty. But He is bringing us to Him, and He has redeemed us. He redeems our destroyed, wounded and hurt lives. He redeems each brokenness in our life and brings praise from out of it.
I kind of saw this as a picture of His Church, His bride, rebuilt on her ruins, His people rising up from their ruins all over the earth and praising Him in bursts of joy! Oh God! Bring us forth! Build us on our ruins! Bring forth Your priases, the praises of the redeemed rebuilt on our ruins! In Jesus' name, amen and let it be so!
"I will build you up again and you will be rebuilt, O Virgin Israel.
Again you will take up your tambourines and go out to dance with the joyful."
- Jeremiah 31:4
