Welcome to Monday Morning Inspirational Blog, titled JUDGMENT, BUT HOPE. Moving through the Old Testament Book of Joel, the prophet. Introduction Joel had already warned Judah, the other half of God's chosen people to turn from their wicked ways. The "Chosen ones,' the inhabitants of the land failed to obey God's warnings through Joel. Some of their thoughts may have been of "Disbelief, the mind of a juvenile, God just playing, He has threaten us before and/or nothing happened. " We can relate to their possible thoughts since we have been there as a child to adulthood. "Yeah momma or dad threaten to take away a toy, the car or some other form of discipline. Yet they failed to make good on it. Or rules on the job continues to be broken without reprimand and/or accountability. Maybe we took them for granted like Israel did God. This blog highlights Judah's sin, judgment for failure to repent; mourning, the call to Repentance, Revival and HOPE which are relevant for todays' believer!
Blog titled, GOD'S LOVE IS REAL focuses on Hosea known as a "Minor prophet." Not because his message is of no substance, because he continues speaking to us today. The All-Knowingly God knew before time Israel would "Turn their back" on Him. Yet because of His unfailing LOVE the LORD still led their escape out of Egypt. Think about the love of a parent. We still go the extra mile for our children too. The LORD warned Israel "Not to worship false idols." They sinned anyhow. We share GOD'S emotional pain, like us when hurt by those we love; the magnitude of God's love is demonstrated through the metaphor of a Marital contract; finally expression of GOD'S LOVE through His covenant (promise) for his people Israel; every believe and those to come to realize more and more that GOD'S LOVE IS REAL and inclusive.
We believe Lamentations 3:22-23 that talks about Blog title, GOD'S GRACE & MERCY. Think about situations encountered-"the destroyer's" attempts to harm our body, soul and/or spirit regardless of how the condition (s) came about. The statement "Great is thy faithfulness" is to believe in God's daily grace and mercy includes His favor that also increases our unfailing belief. Not to overlook those experiencing unbelief. O My God! It's like an old saying, "If it's not one thing, it's another." Yet believe too that you are recipients of GOD'S GRACE & MERCY. Focusing on the grace, mercy and favor Daniel and his three friends received despite they were kidnapped from their home, Jerusalem, to live in Babylon. We will identify Daniel's strong belief in God, share ways to mirror his faithfulness as a way of life; his 3 friends faithfulness; and to ultimately reveal GOD'S GRACE & MERCY to increase yours' and my faithfulness. A must read!
