And I will compensate you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten . . . You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord your God who has dealt wondrously with you; and My people shall never be put to shame.
All throughout Scripture, God forgave, redeemed, and used regular people in mighty ways. Our God is the God of do-overs, second chances, fresh starts, and new beginnings.
Maybe you’re stuck, frozen in a moment. It could be a personal failure of some kind or something completely beyond your control, like an illness or the death of a loved one. Perhaps you’ve been disappointed by an unmet expectation—things didn’t turn out the way you wanted them to. So, you think, It’s over. It’s too late for me.
But it isn’t too late. It’s never too late to have a fresh start when you have Jesus in your life. Your past is not your destiny. If you refuse to give up hope and you make a fresh start, not only will God restore what you may have lost, He will make your life even better.
Prayer of the Day: Father, thank You that it’s never too late for a fresh start with You. I refuse to give up hope, and I trust You to restore what I’ve lost, amen.
