Numbers 23:19

19 God is not man,that he should lie, or a son of man,that he should change his mind. Has he said,and will he not do it? Or has he spoken,and will he not fulfill it?

Romans 8:26

26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought,but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.

Joel 3:1-21 (Good News Translation)

Come Together in Faith and Receive New Life in the Spirit

Introduction

Joel 3:1-21: The prophet Joel announces that the LORD will judge the nations and punish those who committed criminal acts against the Lord’s people. The restoration of the Lord’s people is promised.

Today’s Scripture: Joel 3:20-21b

Judah and Jerusalem will be inhabited forever, and I, the LORD, will live on Mount Zion.

Today’s Reading

¹ The LORD says,“At that time I will restorethe prosperity of Judah and Jerusalem.² I will gather all the nationsand bring them to the Valley of Judgment.There I will judge themfor all they have done to my people.They have scattered the Israelites in foreign countriesand divided Israel, my land.³ They threw dice to decidewho would get the captives.They sold boys and girls into slaveryto pay for prostitutes and wine. ⁴ What are you trying to do to me, Tyre, Sidon, and all of Philistia? Are you trying to pay me back for something? If you are, I will quickly pay you back! ⁵ You have taken my silver and gold and carried my rich treasures into your temples. ⁶ You have taken the people of Judah and Jerusalem far from their own country and sold them to the Greeks. ⁷ Now I am going to bring them out of the places to which you have sold them. I will do to you what you have done to them. ⁸ I will let your sons and daughters be sold to the people of Judah; they will sell them to the far-off Sabeans. I, the LORD, have spoken.⁹ Make this announcement among the nations:‘Prepare for war; call your warriors; gather all your soldiers and march!¹⁰ Hammer the points of your plows into swordsand your pruning knives into spears.Even the weak must fight.¹¹ Hurry and come,all you surrounding nations, and gather in the valley.’”Send down, O LORD, your army to attack them!¹² “The nations must get readyand come to the Valley of Judgment.There I, the LORD, will sit to judgeall the surrounding nations.¹³ They are very wicked;cut them down like grainat harvest time;crush them as grapes are crushedin a full wine press until the wine runs over.”¹⁴ Thousands and thousandsare in the Valley of Judgment.It is there that the day of the LORDwill soon come.¹⁵ The sun and the moon grow dark,and the stars no longer shine.¹⁶ The LORD roars from Mount Zion;his voice thunders from Jerusalem; earth and sky tremble.But he will defend his people.¹⁷ “Then, Israel, you will know that I am the LORD your God.I live on Zion, my sacred hill.Jerusalem will be a sacred city;foreigners will never conquer it again.¹⁸ At that time the mountains will be covered with vineyards,and cattle will be found on every hill; there will be plenty of water for all of Judah.A stream will flow from the Temple of the LORD,and it will water Acacia Valley.¹⁹ Egypt will become a desert,and Edom a ruined waste,because they attacked the land of Judahand killed its innocent people.^20-21 I will avenge those who were killed;I will not spare the guilty.But Judah and Jerusalem will be inhabited forever,and I, the LORD, will live on Mount Zion. ”

Reflect

What criminal acts against God’s people are mentioned? How are God’s people to be blessed? What does God promise? In what ways have you been blessed by God?

Pray

Lord God, you are righteous and loving. Draw me close to you and reign in my heart forever. Amen.
