I was chatting with a friend the other day about a situation in his life. One particular scripture came to mind so forcibly that I knew I had to share it with others and not just him.
"And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm..." Joel 2:25
Each new year brings about a time of renewal, and we especially need it after such a dark year in 2009. Many great things happened this year, especially with the election of our nation's first African-American president. If you have life, health and strength you are also extremely blessed because we know that death took many people away from us this year. As I stated in an earlier blog it seemed as if the death angel hovered especially close this year.
Along with renewal, I believe that this new year is going to be a time of restoration. God is going to restore our dreams and visions and make them come to pass. All we have to do is be open and receptive to His plan. So my prayer for all of us is for complete restoration. All those goals you have put on the back burner for any number of reasons, remember them once again and believe God to do it. If God said it, that settles it!
