Joel 2:23-26 - Heartlight

²³Be glad, O children of Zion,

and rejoice in the LORD your God,

for He has given you the autumn rains

for your vindication.

He sends you showers,

both autumn and spring rains, as before.

²⁴The threshing floors will be full of grain,

and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.

²⁵I will repay you for the years eaten by locusts —

the swarming locust, the young locust,

the destroying locust, and the devouring locust —

My great army that I sent against you.

²⁶You will have plenty to eat,

until you are satisfied.

You will praise the name of the LORD your God,

who has worked wonders for you.

My people will never again

be put to shame.

Geshem: The Water of Heaven

Article by Lois Tverberg

When God chose a land for his people, he didn't choose a place where they could have security because of their own efforts, he chose a land where they would be far more dependent on him! Dr. Lois Tverberg talks about 'geshem' or water, and how God set up Israel to need God to supply their water and make them strong, not their location or their efforts or their wisdom!
