Day 10-Joel 2:12-13
"Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he relents over disaster. Joel 2:12-13
The Lord is calling His people to return to Him. This is not just an outward turning that seems to be real, but a true turning where God’s people return to Him.
Joel says, to “return with fasting, weeping, and mourning.” There is a grief over our sin that it has caused a separation between us and God. Repent and know that God is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. Know that when you repent and return to God, you will find blessing.
Ask the Lord to help you return to Him and continue following Him as your Lord and Savior.
