The God of “I Will Restore.”
Have you ever lost something? A job? A home? A car? A position? Just be patient… We not only serve a God of “more than enough,” but we serve a God of “Restoration.” We serve the “I will restore,” God.
I cannot count the things in our lives that were lost, mostly because we were poor. We could not see “God in these things” years ago, but as we kept on serving the Lord, we found out that He has restored everything that “the locust and palmerworm have eaten.”
The problem with most Christians is the “I want it right now,” attitude! I look back to the day when we had three checking accounts, and every one of them had “zero” dollars in them, and on that same day, Bobby got the message from his dermatologist that he had “six months to live.” Everything was gone, including our dreams of doing something for the Lord in Haiti! We were “below zero.” But, God wanted to test us, to see if we could still trust Him when things went down to zero! I cannot say it was easy, but I can say, “that the Lord restored everything the devil took from us.”
Today, if you are one of those many Christians who have “lost something” (it could be a husband or a wife, a job, or a child, health, or anything) the Lord is talking to you!
“And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.” Joel 2:25
Do not give up! We serve a God of “Restoration!” Have a blessed day!!! Sherry
