Daily Devotions - Tuesday

 
Most of us figure out by a certain age—some of us later than others—that life unspools in cycles, some lovely, some painful, but in no predictable order. So you could have lovely, painful, and painful again, which I think we all agree is not at all fair. You don’t have to like it, and you are always welcome to file a brief with the Complaints Department. But if you’ve been around for a while, you know that much of the time, if you are patient and are paying attention, you will see that God will restore what the locusts have taken away.
  
"Help, Thanks, Wow: The Three Essential Prayers" by Anne Lamott -
 
 People of Zion, celebrate in honor of the Lord your God! He is generous and has sent the autumn and spring rains in the proper seasons.  Grain will cover your threshing places; jars will overflow with wine and olive oil.  I, the Lord your God, will make up for the losses caused by those swarms and swarms of locusts I sent to attack you.
