Daily Scripture Threshing for Today, Saturday, May 2, 2026 Today’s Text: Joel 2:25–27 Key Verse: Joel 2:25 (ESV) — “I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten...” God is a Restorer, and His restoring grace reaches into the ruins of what was lost, broken, wasted, or delayed. Scripture presents restoration as God’s work of bringing His people back from loss into wholeness, and even turning devastation into testimony. In today’s text, the Lord speaks di
