—Joel 2:20-27
by: Sheri Rood.
God is in the restoration and reconstruction business. Just as He would restore Israel after a plague of locusts and severe famine, so He has restored the land and His people despite numerous invasions and attempts to destroy them. He is always faithful to His covenants. What has devastated your life? Perhaps death or divorce has separated you from your peaceful home. Perhaps an illness has sapped your energy or depression has stolen your joy. Perhaps a child has wandered away from the Lord and is walking in spiritual darkness. Take comfort in verse 25—that God “will restore the years the locusts have eaten.” Cling to Him and His promises today.
