Through the prophet Joel, God describes the devastation he brings because His people violate His laws and ways and serve idols. He also identifies the formula for returning to His ways:
“Return to me with all your heart,
with fasting and weeping and mourning.”
Rend your heart
and not your garments.
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in love,
and he relents from sending calamity.”
DAILY PRAYER; Lord of all, have mercy upon Your people. Have mercy upon the multitudes. Stir our spirits to share Your Gospel to those who don’t know You, so that they may come to You and be saved from devastation.
