DAY SIXTEEN – Saturday, March 6, 2021
Joel 2:28-32
Then afterwards
I will pour out my spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams,
and your young men shall see visions.
Even on the male and female slaves,
in those days, I will pour out my spirit.
I will show portents in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls.
This is certainly a book in the Bible I do not recall studying at all, but for only three chapters it has a great deal to study. Wow, the verses 28 to 29 certainly leave us in awe and reverence about God’s Plan for “His Day”. God will act personally by his Spirit, not through his prophets. He is not going to be stingy! Not the privileged few ~ but all groups will receive the Spirit. His constant and unchanging love for us will allow us to experience the wonders of heaven and earth. Possibly in this time of circumstances, which we could have never dreamed of, using God’s Spirit we could reach out to those in our church family and beyond. Using the words that he gave us and with his Spirit we can encourage and fulfill the building of his church. Let us call one different person each day of Lent and show the Spirit of God.
