-Devotion and Prayer for the Day: Joel 1
by Dr. D ~ July 16th, 2021
Join us in today’s prayer and devotion-
Read Joel 1 and then join us in prayer:
Our Father,
Through Your inspiration, the prophet Joel equated a destructive devastating natural attack of locust with Your final days of judgment-‘the Day of The Lord.’ Joel in response called for the nation to repent.
In our own time, we have had similar natural calamities that go beyond historical memory and records; earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes. swarms of locust, and extreme changes in climate. Some of these disasters are happening in our own country.
It is the continual and constant number of these events that cause us to remember what You have declared in your Word concerning the ‘last days.’ We perceive that this is a good moment to call for repentance in our own time; particularly in our own nation.
We pray for a new awakening in this nation before the coming of the final days of judgment and Your great ‘Day of the Lord.’ We look for revival and a great world-wide harvest, a time when the Good News of Your coming Kingdom will be preached in every nation.
We look forward to the great coming again of Your Son Jesus Christ; when there will be no more wars, sickness, hunger, or weather out of control, and everyone everywhere will have everything they need to live a joyful and fulfilling life. Come Lord Jesus, Come.
In Jesus name, Amen.
