Miraculous Turnarounds (Part 2)!

Divine turnarounds are miracles that surpass our expectations, and leave us in a dreamland (Ps. 126:1)! God has a fixed time for your affliction to end. At the appointed time, He will bring you back (Zeph. 3:20). What this implies is, He'd restore you. Restoration, in simple terms is, bringing you back to the state you were before things went wrong. Even so, there's another dimension to restoration, which takes you beyond your initial status before your fall to ensuring you're paid in arrears all you were due but denied while under the bondage of affliction. Hallelujah! A lot of us are so familiar with Joel 2:25: "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you." Yet only a few pay attention to the next verse, which explains the reason for the restoration: "And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed" (Joel 2:26 KJV). The turnaround is to satisfy you so you can praise God. While at it, He ensures your shame is permanently removed. Glory to God!
