“Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and
restore the foundations of past generations. You will be called the
Rebuilder of Broken Walls and the Restorer of Streets where people live”
(Isaiah 58:12). How important it is that we build on a solid
foundation, and not shifting sand. We are to build on Christ, who is
“the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). If the broken
walls are to be rebuilt and the streets are to be restored, we need to
recognize our great need of this work of rebuilding and restoration -
“Truth has fallen in the street, and honest can’t come in” (Isaiah
59:14). We need to rediscover truth. We need more than a respect for
human honesty. We need faith in, appreciation of and love for divine
truth - Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life (John
14:6). When there is rebuilding and restoration, based on the truth of
God, it will be said of God’s people: “You will call your walls
Salvation and your gates Praise.”It will be said of their God: “the Lord
will be your everlasting light. Your God will be your glory” (Isaiah
60:18-19).
