Scripture:
“Announce a time of fasting; call the people together for a solemn meeting. Bring the leaders and all the people of the land into the Temple of the Lord your God, and cry out to him there.”
Joel 1:14 NLT
Observation:
God has just spoken through Joel that He was going to bring judgment on His people. He said they would be devastated, but then speaks through Joel to the priests and leaders. The Lord tells them to announce a time of fasting and to call a a solemn assembly. He tells them to bring everyone into the Temple and cry out to Him, then He may change His mind on the coming destruction.
Application:
When God’s people see that things are getting bad, they must call a a solemn assembly and a time of prayer and fasting and coming back to Him. When we see the enemy on the horizon coming at us, it is time to cry out to the Lord our God. We must learn to see what is happening and turn to the Lord with all our hearts for the healing of our land.
Prayer:
Father, let my heart be attuned to You. Let me see what is happening in the spiritual realm and let me be part of gathering Your people to pray and seek Your face when things need to turn around. Help me to respond when You are calling Intercessory and men and women to gather and seek Your face. Teach me to see and to sound the alarm when it is needed.
Yours,
Jeff
