Joel Chapter One

Read Today's Passage

Joel really gets me thinking. When Israel was invaded and ransacked, the people went to God , mourning and lamenting. They fasted, prayed and cried out to God. I am sure they wondered why, but overall they probably asked Him to save them and to help them (it was Israel's way, after all).

If America were to suffer today what Israel had suffered then, how would we respond? Would we cry out to God, or would we cry out at God? Would we spend more energy cursing Him and demanding answers, or would we focus most of our attention on please for help, mercy and salvation?

Hmmm...
