‘When The Lord Restores A Nation.’
Isaiah 51:3-5.
a) Isaiah 51:3. He gives:-
1- Comfort.

1- Mercy.

God manifests His Mercy as a part of His Work of Restoration. We need the Mercy of God. Sometimes God’s People go so far away from Him that we do not even realise we need His Mercy. When God Restores any individual, family, Church or Nation those involved in the Restoration will surely recognise and value the Mercy of God.
