There's a sacred silence in my home this morning. The musical sounds of the dishwasher, a drip or two, breathing. A train in the distance. Birds. No builders yet!
When the Lord said that He would rebuild Jerusalem, I had no idea what building entailed. This small glimpse into the process as it happens in my own home has been enlightening. Dust, noise, heat, debris. To restore, you need to bash down and break down and cart rubble away.
No wonder the process of rebuilding in our own lives is so hard! It makes me fall on my knees and ask God to spare my family the hurt that will lead to the need to rebuild.
(He makes all things new in his time.)
