AVERTING OF JUDGMENT

Joel 2:27 

"And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that

I am the LORD your God, and none else: and 

my people shall never be ashamed." 

    A broken and contrite heart can be imparted only by the grace of the Holy Spirit. The love of God should bring us to repentance. God takes no pleasure in our miseries and "if" we repent and turn from our sin we find an immediate and loving welcome to the Father’s heart and His heavenly home.

    Joel had called for the trumpet to announce war; he now directs the trumpet blast to summon the people, from the highest to the lowest, to plead for help. Prayer and true repentance and faith bring an immediate answer. God promises not only to forgive sin, but to make us happy and well provided as if the locust and cankerworm had never settled upon our lives. God will have pity and removed the plaques in which He punished them, and then they as well as the world will know that God is in the mist, "It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there," (Ezek. 48:35).

Amen!
