Joel

In the ten days between Christ’s ascension and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the disciples gathered in one accord, devoting themselves to prayer. They didn’t know exactly what was coming, but they knew they needed heaven’s help. This 10-day devotional invites you to follow in their footsteps: to wait, to pray, and to prepare your heart for a fresh move of the Holy Spirit. Whether you're approaching Pentecost or simply seeking renewal, this journey of intentional, Spirit-led prayer is valuable in every season. Come hungry. Come expectant. Come, Holy Spirit.

Come Holy Spirit

This 16th installment of our Reading with the People of God plan invites you into the voices of the Minor Prophets—Hosea through Nahum—calling God’s people to return with sincerity and trust. Paired with the Gospel of Mark, we’ll hear Christ’s invitation to repentance and renewed faith. Each day includes readings from Psalms, the Old Testament, and the New Testament, with a brief devotional primer.

May these readings draw you nearer to the Lord, awaken your heart to His mercy, and echo His faithful call: “Return to Me.”

Joel’s prophecy, “The day of the Lord,” is like a double-edged sword; it’s about God’s wrath to the disobedient and God’s salvation to the obedient. It speaks of an imminent judgment of Judah and an eschatological consummation of God’s Kingdom in Jesus’ second coming. Amidst his horrific warnings, Joel comforts God’s people with this promise, “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
