King James Version

What does Joel 2:21 mean? →

Passage Context

19Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
20But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
21Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
22Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
23Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.

Devotional Reflection

GratitudeHope

God gives this promise to a people who are going through hard times. These hard times were brought on by God to get them to change their ways. Their land is empty and small because of drought, disease, and bad crops. God, on the other hand, says that He will bless them if they turn back to Him with all their hearts. The LORD, the God of Israel's covenant, will do great things to save His people if they turn back to Him and use His gracious power. The country can be happy and rejoice. His people should, too. Also, we should! We know that "the LORD has done great things" for us because of Jesus.

Thank you for putting an end to death. Thank you for the immense grace and mercy you have shown. Thank you for sending the Holy Spirit to us. Thank you for the Bible, which was written by your Spirit and teaches us. Thank you for the Church, family, and friends. Thank you. In Jesus' precious name I pray. Amen.
