[By Andy Richardson]
God loves to fix things. Sometimes our lives are broken because of sin and judgment. Sometimes the world falls apart all around us. But, no matter what the case, God wants to make a new future for His people. The prophet spoke of this desire of God to the nation of Judah: “So I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten” (Joel 2:25).
Pray that you will trust God for your future, no matter how you messed up your past.
God specializes in overcoming our mistakes. You say that we must reap what we sow, and that is true. Nevertheless, God is still in the restoration business. Have you given up trusting that Jesus can bring good out of the bad? Have you forgotten that He “causes all things to work together for good to those who love God” (Romans 8:28)? The locusts are full and have eaten enough. God already has the new grain growing again. Don’t doubt it for a moment.
