Joel 2:21 New International Version (NIV)
21 Do not be afraid, land
of Judah; be glad and rejoice.
Surely the Lord has done great things!
Surely the Lord has done great things!
This reassurance from God is given to a people facing
desperate times, which were brought on by God to lead them to repent. Their
land lies desolate and decimated from drought, plagues, and poor harvests. God,
however, is now promising to bless them if they will return to him with all
their hearts. The LORD, the covenant God of Israel, will do great things to
bring his people to deliverance through their repentance and his gracious
power. The land can rejoice and be glad. So should his people! So should we!
Because of Jesus, we know that "the LORD has done great things" for
us!
Thought for today: Have I given thought to how God
has restored me?
