"God Can Accelerate Things..."
Joel 2:25-26
Amplified Bible
25 “And I will compensate you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the creeping locust, the stripping locust, and the gnawing locust— My great army which I sent among you. 26 “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.
God knows how to make up for years you've lost in your life. No, you can't relive your childhood, but God can make the rest of your life so rewarding, so fulfilling, that you don’t even miss what didn’t happen in the past. You may feel as though you wasted years in a relationship that didn’t work out. But God can bring somebody into your life so great, so fun, so Friendly, so attractive that you wont even remember the years that you've lost.
You may have spent years on a job that turns out to be a dead end. You were working your way to the top, things didn’t turn out as you had hoped, and now it looks as though it was all a big waste of time. You may not see how you could ever get to where you want to be, but don’t believe those lies. God knows how to make up for the lost time. God can accelerate things. God can bring opportunities back across your path that you missed that will thrust your years ahead. It may not have happened the first time, but God will always give you another chance. He’ll make up for the lost time and bring you out better and stronger than ever before.
