Day Twenty-six – הַיּוֹם שִׁשָּׁה וְעֶשְׂרִים לָעֹמֵר

In that day I will raise up the fallen booth of David, and wall up its breaches; I will also raise up its ruins and rebuild it as in the days of old; that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by My name, declares the LORD who does this.

Amos 9:11–12

“Unless the Lord builds the house…”

God gave His people promises regarding the Land. In His time He will rebuild and restore His Land to His people. In what generation will He do this? No one knows for sure. We can put our hope in the Lord before He completes His work. He is faithful to complete the His work. He will leave nothing undone that He has started. God is a master builder who counts the cost and completes all His work projects on time.

• What building projects seem incomplete in my life? How do you see the Lord’s hand in shaping and molding you?

• How do we compare the building of a house to how God builds us together?

• Yeshua taught His disciples about building on good foundations. Have a group discussion about foundations of sand and stone. How can we evaluate our plans in real time and discern how secure they are? What building code standards apply? Who is really the master builder behind all this?
