Isaiah 56:3-5
Let not the foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say,
“The Lord will surely separate me from his people”;
and let not the eunuch say,
“Behold, I am a dry tree.”
For thus says the Lord:
“To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths,
who choose the things that please me
and hold fast my covenant,
I will give in my house and within my walls
a monument and a name
better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
that shall not be cut off.
Tag: Restoration
God is in the business of restoring those who are broken to heath. God is the ultimate fixer and you and I are the ultimate fixer-upper! God has and will restore us in His grace. In this long prophecy of Isaiah, God reveals in these ending chapters His desire to restore the nation of Israel to glorify Himself. In the above verses He uses the foreigner and the eunuch to emphasize the concept of God's restoration plan. Even though the eunuch might say, "I am a dry tree," meaning he can't give seed for a child, God will make him fruitful. God not only restores, He does the impossible to make that restoration happen. God can take the eunuch and memorialize him. God takes away his pain and gives him pleasure. That is God's restoration plan. But that pleasure is, in turn, used to glorify God. God is restoring us so that we can glorify Him!!
