The Hope of His People
Bible Reading 9/13: Joel
The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
Joel 3:16
As we've stated in previous posts, sometimes it's necessary for things to get shaken up, changed, or for God to just rock our world in a way we never thought possible. Those times, however necessary, seem absolutely crazy...and it's easy to lose grip on The Rock while feeling like our life is spinning a million miles an hour, in uncertain directions, all at once! We sometimes doubt God and just think it's a bad set of circumstances with nothing good in it at all. But look at what The Lord says in this Scripture...He shall roar. The heavens and the earth shall shake. But The Lord will be their hope & strength! God is not saying He won't do something drastic...but He IS saying, He'll be there with us. He will give us hope. He will give us strength. He will see us through!

But a Spiritual one. Knowing that creation Would mean redemption. It would mean... Heaven needs to touch earth... Light would need to pierce the veil of darkness... The process of creating was ongoing... All the way to the point of creating in us clean hearts (Psalm 51:10) by being born again of water &...
