The Ministry of Restoration
The Ministry of Restoration
Monday
Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.
— Galatians 6:1 (ESV)
— Galatians 6:1 (ESV)
There is something deeply countercultural about restoration. Our world is quick to cancel, quick to expose, quick to walk away. But the Spirit calls God’s people to a different path. When a brother or sister stumbles, the spiritually mature are not given permission to gossip, withdraw, or feel superior. They are commanded to restore, gently, like a doctor setting a broken bone.
Notice the warning attached: “Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.” Restoration begins with humility, knowing that the very pit your brother fell into could swallow you tomorrow.
Today, ask the Lord to soften your heart toward someone who has fallen, and pray for the courage to be a restorer rather than a critic. Pray that God would make you the kind of believer others can run to in their weakest moments.
