The Lord will do great things

“Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.” - Joel 2v21

How do we find encouragement in times when it seems like it is just going to be hard to do the right thing?

God gives some words of encouragement to His people.

  • Don’t be afraid
  • Be glad
  • Rejoice

How can we do this? We can do it with utmost confidence that God is going to do great things. The problem is that too often we don’t really believe that God is going to do great things, we have reasoned things out in our own minds that the future is too difficult and that we must find our own solution.

How do we know God is going to do great things? He has a proven track record – He already has done marvellous things in the past and He does not change.

As we face our tasks this week, may we do so without fear, with gladness and joy, because God is going to do great things!
