“And I will restore to you the years
that the locust have eaten.” Joel 2:25
Do our
hearts ache over the years we have foolishly squandered? Then let us thank God
for the comfort of knowing His power to restore them. “Alas,” we lament, “our
best years have been devoured by the locusts. They are lost now never to be
regained. What shall we do?” The answer is, “Nothing!” It is God who will
restore those years. As to the time wasted, a lost decade of ours may have been
worth no more than one day in God’s eyes; but if hereafter we redeem the time
by using it for God, then one day may become equal in value to 1,000 years.
For the
day on earth is not clocked in heaven on the basis of twenty-four hours.
Instead, God has His own moral scale of computation. If our service is
according to His will, let us take courage. Who can tell what a single hour may
count for in His sight?
Revelation 21:5“And he who was seated
on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, 'Write
this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.
