May 17, 2023- Morning Bible Reading and Meditation - Joel 1 KJV
“[1] The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
[2] Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
[3] Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.”
Words to ponder:
Give Ear, All ye inhabitants of The Land
The people of the land, even the land in whom The LORD has chosen for His beloved people to dwell in, is about to destroy; a calamity is about to come; and afterwards the conqueror will break in, who is about to take all the spoils, yes, all things that remains! And so it happened. The History recorded it.
Give ear, all of us inhabitant of the land! All dwellers of this world.
The Bible is the word of GOD.
Written for all people to know; that which is to come is written aforetime. So no one will say, “I don’t know.”
For as it happened to the chosen people of GOD and to their dwelling place, so it will come to happen again, not only to them but to this entire world. For they were called and chosen to set us an example.
To whom the coming of The Son of GOD and His wondrous works should be magnified, for all the inhabitants of the earth to know.
It was prophesied and written in the book of Apostle Peter:
“2 Peter 3:9-12 KJV
[9] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
[10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
[11] Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, [12] Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?”
As life and death is consistent in the ways of the earth, so as the word which is being preach.
All are temporal and nothing here in this world will last for eternity; except for all who are saved by the blood of JESUS CHRIST.
The promise of GOD’s pardon is for all who received the gift of salvation.
John 3:16 KJV
“[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 1:12-13 KJV
“[12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
[13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
The great and notable day of The LORD is about to come.
Let all the people give ears!
Let all accept the gift of salvation from GOD.
Let all believe that JESUS CHRIST is The Son of GOD and He alone is the way, the truth and the life.
Let The HOLY SPIRIT who is the earnest of our expectation after we believe guide us and direct our ways while we are yet waiting for that day to come.
Let us al be saved and be ready for that judgement day!
Be saved today and be among GOD’s beloved today and ever.
Good morning 🙏❤️
Joel 1:1-20 KJV
[1] The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. [2] Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers? [3] Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. [4] That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten. [5] Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth. [6] For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion. [7] He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white. [8] Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth. [9] The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the Lord ; the priests, the Lord's ministers, mourn. [10] The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth. [11] Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished. [12] The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men. [13] Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God. [14] Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord, [15] Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. [16] Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God? [17] The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered. [18] How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate. [19] O Lord, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field. [20] The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
