“I will restore . . .”
Tucked away in the book of Joel in the Bible is God’s promise “I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten” (2:25). At first glance, this doesn’t make sense—can years be eaten by locusts? But in its spiritual significance, these words speak of the restoration of whatever good in our lives seems to have been lost—missed opportunities, thwarted hopes, derailed plans.
As a result of lockdowns during the global pandemic, so much seems to have been eaten away—time with loved ones, career opportunities, income, social contacts, education, and so on.
