Bible Verse
“And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten…”
— Joel 2:25 (KJV)
Ellen G. White Quote
“Our Heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us, of which we know nothing.”
— The Ministry of Healing, p. 481
Reflection
Sometimes we look back and see only loss the time wasted, relationships broken, opportunities missed. But God promises something remarkable: restoration. He is not only a healer of hearts but a restorer of what was lost.
The people in Joel’s time had seen devastation, yet God’s promise wasn’t just about crops it was about hope. He can restore joy, purpose, and even time. What you thought was a setback, He can turn into a comeback.
Ellen White reminds us that God's ways of blessing us may be unseen, unexpected, and overflowing. You might not know how, but you can trust He will.
Let This Be Your Prayer Today
Lord, I bring my broken and lost moments to You. Please restore what I’ve lost—whether it’s time, peace, or strength. I trust that You can bring beauty even out of my past. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
