Joel 1 - Day 756 (link to reading)
Scripture: Joel 1:15-20 Summary (gotquestions.org): Judah, the setting for the book, is devastated by a vast horde of locusts. This invasion of locusts destroys everything—the fields of grain, the vineyards, the gardens and the trees. Joel symbolically describes the locusts as a marching human army and views all of this as divine judgment coming against the nation for her sins. The book is highlighted by two major events. One is the invasion of locusts and the other the outpouring of the Spirit. The initial fulfillment of this is quoted by Peter in Acts 2 as having taken place at Pentecost. Application: Most people live their lives as if they're going to heaven when they die. The bible prophets, especially Joel, clearly state that everyone will stand before God and be judged for their actions here on earth. Prayer: Lord Jesus, have mercy on us sinners...
