Restoration

October 16, 2023

"And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you." Joel 2:25

Any restoration project is not an easy process. Once things begin to be torn down and ripped apart there is no telling what is behind some of the walls that have been up for years. Once everything is torn down and ripped apart then it is time to put it all back together again, and the goal of the restoration process is to put it back together better than what it was before. There are times in our spiritual lives that we need to have things torn down and ripped apart and allow The Lord to put them back together again, better than what they were before. The Scripture reminds us that God will restore to you the years that the locust have eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. I encourage you today to remember God is the great restorer, and He will restore the years that have been torn apart in your life. Things that have been ripped way from you, God who is the Master Carpenter will put them back together again, better than what they were in the past. No matter what you have lost, God will be able to put them back together again, no matter how long you have been going through it, God will restore the years that have been taken from you. Trust God to bring you through no matter how long you have been going through, and He will do just what He says. I am thankful that God is restoring the years that have been taken, and since I know He is the The Master Carpenter I have no doubt, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord thank you for restoring the years that have been ripped up. Thank you for restoring joy, peace, and love in my life. Thank you for restoring everything that is good and great that you have for me. Thank you Lord, because I know my future will be better than my past. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
