34 for 30: Day 22 - Joel

Date: Not sure. Some say 9th century while others the 4th or 5th. Chapters: 3 Author: Joel - The character of God is described as gracious, merciful, slow to anger, greatly kind, and it is He that relents from doing harm. I like the action that should be taking place on our part which is to turn to Him with all our heart. Did you notice the response of 'who knows' in chapter 2 verse 14? I remember reading recently about the King of Nineveh saying something similar when Jonah told the nation to repent. And David when he mourned over the son that the Lord would take from him because of his unfaithfulness with Bathsheba. So the question of 'who knows' really should bring us to resting in the sovereignty of God. Remember his character and change your heart. By the way, I did not gloss over the fact that in this book He foretold us He would pour out His Spirit on all flesh. It is a pretty important part of the passage.
