Read Zephaniah 1-3
Zephaniah 3:19 says, "Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame." When you’re using a computer, you don’t have to be too worried about typing the wrong thing or putting numbers in the wrong column. No matter what you’ve done, there’s an undo button you can use to go back. And if you regularly save your work, you can close out and reopen to the last time you had everything right.
Life doesn’t have an undo button. When you’ve said the wrong thing, it’s out there hurting someone. When you’ve eaten a piece of the pie someone baked to take to tomorrow’s pot luck social, it’s left a gaping hole. Once something is done, it’s done.
God brings relief to our afflictions and comfort to our sorrows. He can show us ways to make things right with each other and sets things to rights in our circumstances. It’s as close to an undo button as you can get.
