Years the Locust have eaten

Joel 2: 25 “ So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten,
The crawling locust,
The consuming locust,
And the chewing locust,[e]
My great army which I sent among you.”

This passage of scripture really tested and proven with my life. Many times, when I read this, I always ask the Lord, where’s the years “I” lost away ? Where is the years “people” around me had taken away? Where is the years “I had” to give away (Studies) ? When I walk into my adulthood, I realize so many years, the locust have eaten. The crawling locust, spoke about the evil days of my life, the Consuming Locust speaks about the years you have to give away for studies and growing up and the chewing locust, reflects people around me that have made me misery or made me “me”.

When I come to the Lord, I always regret of the years I have lost, I always cry and demand back the year. And every time I cry, I always end encouraging myself, that it’s a past it can never happen to me again, I have to let go the past and so on.

But, Years have return, The LORD is faithful, heaven and earth will pass but HIS WORD will never pass away.

I’ve grown up in rush that, I didn’t get to travel, or go to amusement park or even to zoo. The only young days I can remember going was going to Melaka to crocodile farm and THAT’s IT.

Today, I can name myself, things I have done before I die, haha, things like I have been to Cameron and Genting Highland ( while my college days ). Been to beaches like Teluk Chempedak( Pahang), Port Dickson, Penang beaches, and Desaru ( my own place but it was while working only I get to go ).

Yesterday was a deal off the hook, I went to Singapore Zoo then to Science Centre then to Snowcity with my adorable Praisekids. Something I can never replace with anything else. The Experience was the coolest thing. Although all these places are meant for kids, well this is the childhood I lost. These are the year the locust have eaten. Much on my tears ,when I was young I wish to go here, but I couldn’t, but now that I serve in Praisekids, AMEN Hallelujah, I get back the years my childhood may have miss.

That goes the same for JC radix, I get back the years my teenage years would have waste away. And now leaving in my present years. Basically I am living three different years in a single period. Haha, confusing, but explainable.

I better stop, getting no where, I am just so excited about how God is doing things in my life. And I want to give him all the praise.
