Locusts are used throughout the old and new testament to epitomize evil and destructive forces. Enemy armies that enslave God’s people are often described as hoards of locusts. Locusts devour and destroy acres of crops, leaving the land devastated and the people impoverished. We, too, deal with destructive forces in our lives that can leave us feeling spiritually impoverished.We all have times when we reflect on our lives and consider that time, maybe years, have been lost living out false notions, bad habits, or wrong beliefs. We may feel, "If only I had known then what I know now." Wittingly or not, we live in a spiritual battlefield. Sometimes, we live victoriously; sometimes we succumb. However, Christ tells us that the Lord restores whatever the locusts have devoured. (Joel 2:25) We are promised that, we will be abundantly nurtured and satisfied and will praise the name of the Lord for what He had so wonderfully done. (Joel 2:26) What does the restoration look like and how do we enter into it? Come learn about the wondrous restoration and freedom in store for us!
