Joel 2:12–14

GOD'S MESSAGE FOR ME TODAY
"Yet even now," declares the LORD, "Return to Me with all your heart, And with fasting, weeping and mourning; And rend your heart and not your garments." Now return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness And relenting of evil. Who knows whether He will not turn and relent And leave a blessing behind Him, Even a grain offering and a drink offering For the LORD your God? —Joel 2:12-14
HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO MY LIFE?
I like the principle of the Lord blessing us enough to bless Him back with an offering. Unfortunately we confuse this and take the Lord out of blessing us in the first place. After all, we have only because God gave.
