This last Sunday we had a great time of worship. It was thick and full of His presence. Later that evening during the prayer room set we continued in His presence. As we were praying over 1 Chron. 16 I did a chain reference search of part of this chapter. It lead me to Joel Ch. 3:18 and the section of “…mountains shall drip new wine…” This caught my attention so I back tracked a little bit to verse 12. From this point it talks of judgment, wickedness and just plain ugliness coming. As of this posting its not to far off. Then is verse 16 it takes a turn for the better. Mentioning that the Lord our God is going to roar, shake things up and be there for His people.

Verse 18 talks of the blessings coming our way as His people. We’re talking new wine, brooks flooded and fountains flowing. Then we read of the Valley of Acacias. This as I read represents an abandoned land. Dry and parched land. It is going to be watered. Where there is draught God is going to bring blessings to this area.

Do not give up hope. Don’t get overwhelmed by what’s going on. God knows what is happening. He has told us this is going to happen. That’s why we need to keep our focus on Him. On all things from above. God will get us through it. We just have to be obedient to all that He asks of us. Right now that is prayer, reading the Bible and sharing the Gospel. Encouraging our brothers and sisters who may be weaker. We need to be a “body” taking care of itself.

So, look to the Heavens and seek His presence. Worship Him who gave us life and life more abundant. Thanks for reading and remember to share this post with others. That they may be encouraged.

Be blessed, Ken
