He read in this book so many promises that I can take to heart. I really like the following verse in the King James better, here is what it says: Joel 2:25, "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten..." We think time goes by and we lose it. We lose those years. However, we see in the Lord's mathematics, that he can do a time reversal. He can abundantly return to us the years that we think have been lost.
What a locust eats is gone. You have to wait till next year for the plants and crops to be regrown. If this same activity occurs over years, famine begins to set in and death eventually occurs. God is a God of growth and new beginnings though. He turns the years that were destroyed and he repays them. He will "repay" as it says in the NIV. I love that. God remembers. He remembers the years of sorrow (possibly caused by sin or neglect) and he repays what we deserve. This causes quite a bit of jubilation to come out of our mouths if we dwell on this characteristic!
