Today I started a short seris in Joel. Joel chapter 1 is a pretty depressing chapter which starts with the message of the 4 swarms of locuts coming one after another after another after another. What a hard message to bring. Joel was faithul in bringing it.
The mesage was to be pased through generations. This is an encouragement and instruction to us.
We looked at some of the verbs awake , lament, be ashamed, and sanctiy a fast, and considered how they applied today.
For all the depression of the of the message there was still hope. God says it is my land, my fig tree, my vine. God still took took responsabilty for them as his. This points forward to the encouraging message of this book.

2014 happiness
An excellent start to 2014, as we were reminded of the essential happiness of the Lords people from Deut 33.
One notable sentance the sun is always shining beyond the clouds.
A happy new year to you all.
