June 2

Introduction

In this opening chapter, the prophet Joel describes a terrible invasion of locusts accompanied by a devastating drought. In these events, he sees a sign of the coming day of the LORD, a time when the LORD will punish those who oppose his righteous will.

Today’s Reading 

Joel 1:1-20:

Today’s Key Verse:  Joel 1:14

Give orders for a fast; call an assembly! Gather the leaders and all the people of Judah into the Temple of the LORD your God and cry out to him!

Reflect

The economy of the ancient Near East, including Israel’s, was mostly based on farming and herding. An attack by locusts had very damaging effects. If locusts devoured all crops and plants, people and their animals could starve. How does Joel describe the effects of a devastating locust plague? What does he instruct the people to do (verses 13, 14)? Have you or has your community of faith ever felt called to fast and pray? If so, what were the circumstances?

Pray

Lord God, you are ever near and hear our cries. Draw me close to you and help me surmount any temptations or difficulties that I may face today. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Drought-stricken lands throughout the world

Tomorrow’s Reading

Joel 2:1-17: The prophet Joel calls the people to repent.
