Joel

Well reading Joel I had to really continue to read to find anything beautiful in this passage of scripture. In the beginning of this scripture you really see the wrath of God being poured out on those who rebelled against His will. Knowing that we were reading one of the books of the prophets I sort of expected this type of revelation, because prophets back then didn’t play at all so it wasn’t that much of a surprise reading some of the wrath that was going to be poured upon the people. But as I continue to read there is something I never noticed in the book of Joel which was some like a poem of promise to the people of God.

“And in that day The mountains will drip with sweet wine, And the hills will flow with milk, And all the brooks of Judah will flow with water; And a spring will go out from the house of the LORD To water the valley of Shittim”

This Line is found toward the end of the book in Joel chapter 3. Now reading this and the other lines of promise this sort of showed a poetic side of God I only noticed in the Songs of Solomon never in another passage of reading. Reading these lines aloud sounded too beautiful to me this in something I wouldn’t mind stealing and saying to my future wife. These lines almost sound like a wedding vow to the church, it’s a promise of an unconditional love and blessing that will always follow the children of God if they continue to be faithful to His laws and commands. This showed me that even in the midst of destruction and evil God can still make beauty come from the wicked of things and situations and I’m one of those things God turned to something beauty though I was an instrument of wrath God turned it around and created something beautiful out of dust.
