"Imagine if your life story because an illustrated children's story that included everything you did, every thought, every action, everything you ever said, everything you ever text. How much would God feature in your story?"
v19 - 20
So the end of last time, God become concerned for the land and for the people. here, we find out what he does. he promises to send them grain and wine and oil, so that they will have plenty. he won't shame them among the nations. he will make the army occupying the north leave into the dead or the Mediterranean sea.
v21 - 24
there's now fruit and and grass and nature-y stuff. Joel tells the people to be happy because God has done what is right. I found this interesting. Is he referring to the fact that they've now got food and everything back, and this is right? because it's only their opinion that it is right. or, is it referring to the fact they prayed and then they got what they wanted, so this is right. or is it just because of God's plans are coming into place, and this is right? hmmm.
v25 - 27
and then God talks that although he sent the locusts, he will pay them back. WOAH. the people got sent locusts because they were going against God, and then even when the locusts were sent, the people shrugged it off as normal and then Joel had to be like REPENT! but even though they deserved this punishment, God's promising to pay them back.
they will never be hungry, they will praise God who done miracles for them. god promises they will never shamed again. the people will know that he is God, there is no other God and they will never be shamed again.
This just shows the power of prayer, doesn't it? :)
