Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 9th January 2026 TOPIC: The Restorer of Years
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten.”
Joel 2:25, NKJV
TODAY’S WORD
You may feel like you’ve been in a season of lost years. You’ve invested so much in your business, in accomplishing your dream, or in dealing with an illness, but it looks like it was wasted. The locusts came in and ate up your harvest. Stay encouraged. Payback is coming. God is keeping the records. He’s going to restore opportunities that you missed, relationships that are not what they should be, the years you struggled with depression or loneliness. He’s even going to restore the years you lost not making good decisions, giving in to compromise.
You don’t have to live in regrets, thinking you missed your season, that it’s too late to accomplish your dreams or have good relationships with your family. God knew we would make mistakes. He’s not going to just redeem you; He’s going to redeem the time. He’s going to give you another chance. Don’t believe the lies that you’re too old, you’ve made too many mistakes. You wouldn’t be reading this if God wasn’t about to restore all those harvests that belong to you but you missed out on.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that nothing is too hard for You to work out in my life, not even the time I’ve lost in the past for many different reasons. Thank You that You work in ways so far beyond anything I can think or imagine. Help me believe that You will restore what I’ve lost. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
