“The Lord also will roar from Zion,
And utter His voice from Jerusalem;
The heavens and earth will shake;
But the Lord will be a shelter for His people,
And the strength of the children of Israel.” Joel 3:16
God will do what is on His mind! He judges with truth, justice, and mercy. You can’t worry or become consumed about His wrath and the fires of judgment.
However, you can trust implicitly in the name of the Lord because He offers a shelter of protection and supernatural strength. There is no one like Him!
Life brings you to a crossroads with two different paths. There is a path that leads to the goodness of God like in the Garden of Eden. This path is eternal and has no end. It is filled with love, joy, and peace and offers a life overflowing with the abundance of God.
The other path leads nowhere good. The end of this path is destruction and death. This path makes you vulnerable to the judgment of God both in the living world and the life after death. There is no escape from the fire of God if you walk down this path.
This path offers you short-lived pleasures but will never satisfy your deeper needs. It can never fill the void within you!
There is one consistent theme in the Bible concerning the horrendous judgments of God. Return to God and He will lead you to an oasis of peace and protection and restore you to Himself. He will fill you with His strength and you will never lack. He never forgets His people!
Life is superficial without God. He brings a substance to life you cannot find anywhere else!
