“I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten…”
(Joel 2:25)
Who among us does not regret having some wasted years in our lives? But the God of all Grace promises those who humble themselves and who admit they were the cause—a bumper crop. It will more than compensate for the loss. You will find, "He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think!"
Spurgeon said, “There is a strange and wonderful way in which God can give back to you wasted blessings.” No past famines can make future blessings impossible. All our losses can be restored. He can give fullness for famine, and replace poverty with plenty. It is never too late to make a new start, no matter how hideous the sin, or how many years have been abused and misused.
And because He does these things for us we may say, “Praise the name of the Lord [our] God that hath dealt wondrously with [us]” (Joel 2:25-26).
Remember; He is the Lord of the locust-eaten years.
