Manna for Today: Psalm 80


Psalm 80:1-18
Key Verse: 80:3,7,19 ESV

“Restore us, O Lord God of hosts! Let your face shine, that we may be saved!”
In such a short amount of time we have lost so much. We can no longer meet together; can no longer go to our favorite restaurant. Things spin more and more out of control we lose more and more. Restore us! Oh Lord we cry! Save us! Bring your cleansing and your healing to us all. Restore to everything that we have lost, everything we are losing. God is the one who gives us life, who reaches into creation and breathes life into the broken, bits of our lives. God is our restoration. Trust in the Lord, turn to God. God will save us; restore us. God’s face will shine on us, in and through it all.

Things to Think on:
How has your life changed recently?
Are there things you have lost you wished would be restored?
What would it look like, feel like for you to feel God’s face shine upon you?
What would it mean for God to look from Heaven and see, see you, see what is going on in your life?
Is it hard to trust that God can bring restoration, and salvation to all these parts of your life?

A Prayer for Today
Oh Lord God who can see all things. I know you see me, you see all the things I have lost. You see all the broken bits of my life. Help me to trust you, help me to turn to you when all life seems to be chaos. You are the God of my salvation, the one who can restore all things. - Amen
