Is 58:12
Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins
and will raise up the age-old foundations;
You will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,
Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.
A literal example of this fasting promise is the book of Nehemiah, who lead his people into a country wide fast. Ultimately they were blessed with the rebuilding of the wall that protected Jerusalem. Read it, its really cool. But I believe that for us, this promise is profound. Remember all those dreams and ambitions you once had? All those plans that failed? Some failed because we failed to walk in God's will or some because we gave up when it was too hard. Maybe God said "no" or "wait," then we forgot about them... and even some were ordained by God but never came to fruition for some reason. Those are what this promise is about. All those plans that crumbled over the years, will be rebuilt. Piece by piece. That fire and passion that once set you ablaze for those dreams will be re-lit. And along with it, you will have new visions and the provision to rebuild and repair. God will raise up a new foundation! Take some time today to ask God what He wants to repair.
