Joel 2:25 NIV – “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten— the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm— my great army that I sent among you.

But often we forget that restoration can only come after we are spiritually aligned with God, trusting in his plan and timing for us. The verse before this says,

Joel 2:13 NIV – Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.

It’s a call to know God for who he is and to put all our trust in him..it’s a call to turn from any sinful ways that we have settled in and to cry out for mercy..

The best part is that not only does God forgive us when we repent and come back to him but also he pours out his blessings on us..He gives us back everything we lost even when it was our own doing.

May God restore all that has been lost in your life. May he restore the time that the enemy took advantage of, may he restore everything that was stolen from you in Jesus name.
