Let The Weak Say I Am Strong

 May 26, 2023- Morning Bible Reading and Meditation- Joel 3 KJV

[9] Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:

 [10] Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. 

[11] Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord.

Words to ponder for today:

Let The Weak Say I Am Strong

In this chapter was prophesied what it is to come for the people of Israel, as well as  GOD’s recompense for those people who have treated badly His own people Israel. 

And after all the events of conquering and oppressing the children of Israel in different era; before the birth of The Messiah, there had been many wars within nations against nations; where males at a younger ages, are being equipped to fight the battles. 

And what this world awaits more to come is the judgement day; where the Ultimate Judge: The LORD JESUS CHRIST, who is to sit on that throne of judgement: to judge the living and the dead.  

And before that notable day of The LORD; there come again wars and rumors of wars. As we have seen in our generation the ugliest face of atrophy of  the wars going on before , even  in our days, even in that land where ancient Babylon is seated. 

Younger male and female as age as 10 years old are being put into the training camp to kill mercilessly. 

But the people whom are called to serve GOD are too busy to pay attention. Prayers are sent only for the basic needs of every believers; very few really take notice of the overall situation of human’s life and their spiritual condition, were some were taken less, if not non valuable at all. 

Let us all who are called in the Name of The LORD spend time to pause, pray and ponder; on how our lives should be equipped and well armored; to fight  within the field of spiritual battle in this present time; wherein  much greater are needed of spiritual warriors. 

Let all the weak say I am strong; but with the empowerment of the word of GOD, which makes one wise after  having received the gift of salvation from GOD through JESUS CHRIST our LORD.

Let us all strengthen ourselves beyond our known capacity, by becoming one among the growing giver and goers for the sake of CHRIST’s Ministry. 

Let The LORD JESUS CHRIST’s Name be magnify in our lives everyday and ever.

A pleasant Friday morning to all.

Joel 3:1-21 KJV

[1] For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, [2] I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. [3] And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink. [4] Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head; [5] Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things: [6] The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border. [7] Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head: [8] And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the Lord hath spoken it. [9] Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: [10] Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. [11] Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord. [12] Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. [13] Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great. [14] Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. [15] The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. [16] 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. [17] So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more. [18] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim. [19] Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. [20] But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. [21] For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the Lord dwelleth in Zion.
