Thank God for Redeeming Time
Addressing hearts that have grown
cold to the things of God, Joel
confronts the people of Judah.
He reminds them of the destruction
brought by a plague of locusts.
Yet that disaster will seem pale
beside the castastrophe to come.
Unless the nation repents, it will
be destroyed by the army from the
north. The only hope of escape is
for the people to repent. If they do,
then God will divert judgment and
will deliver unparalleled blessing,
judgment on all Judah’s enemies
and the gift of peace to Zion!
Lord, You Will Redeem the Time:
I Will Repay you for the years
the locusts have eaten… my
great army that I sent among you.
You shall eat in plenty and be
satisfied, and praise the name of
the Lord your God (Joel 2:25-26).
It shall come to pass afterward that
I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh..
Whoever Calls on the name of the
Lord Shall Be Saved (v28-32) Amen
Lord, thank You that it is never
too late to turn to You and see
Restoration happens in our life.
Even though there has been time
wasted when I didn’t live fully for U,
I pray that U Will Redeem the time
and help me to make up for it.
Restore everything that has been
lost, wasted or ruined so that
I can give You the glory. Amen.
Lord, there’s times when we ignore
the still small voice and make
mistakes. Though discipline may
come but You promise to give back
the years the locusts had eaten.
Grateful that You not only forgive
but Yr mercy is great. You want us
to learn from mistakes and allow
U to bring good from them. Thank
U for forgiving mistakes. Help me
learn from them & grow closer to U.
And thank You that U will redeem
my past & guide my future. Amen.
Lord, thank you for Your Word
that everyone who calls on
Your name Will Be Saved. Thank
You for the promise to hear
and answer my cries for help.
Your rescue of me may not end
up looking like what I imagine
but You do promise to deliver.
Grant me the faith to believe this
promise with all my heart. Amen.
