Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:3 — “a time to break down, and a time to build up.”
Reflection:
Rebuilding is often slow and challenging. It happens after something has been broken — relationships, health, communities, and even our spirits. Rebuilding requires patience, courage, and hope that God is not finished with us yet.
Faithfulness in rebuilding doesn't mean ignoring the past. It means acknowledging what's broken and trusting in God’s power to restore. God meets us amid the ruins and gives us strength to move forward.
Application: Identify one “brick” you can pick up today — a small, tangible step toward healing or renewal.
Writing Prompt: Where in my life am I being called to rebuild? What small step could I take this week?
Prayer:
God of restoration, thank you for meeting me in broken places. Give me strength to rebuild with courage, patience, and hope. Amen.
