“So, I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten.”           (Joel 2:25 NKJV) 

This may or may not be a promise for restoration of lost wealth or prosperity. The most important thing man has lost is his relationship with God. When we accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour, God restores our relationship with Him. We are forgiven, cleansed and loved, and He promises to meet all our needs (not wants). We are refocused to understand our purpose in life. God’s Word never fails! “Can the dead be restored?” you ask. “What happens to a dead seed?” the answer. We must rise up wherever we fall; we must contend for our faith; we must trust and obey, with expectations. God will surely do what He says!

ACTION: Declare God’s Word and Bible verses to yourself daily!

PRAYER: “My deep desire and hope is that I shall never fail in my duty…” (Phil. 1:20 GNT) In Jesus name, Amen. We receive Your Word for such a time as this!
